Answer:

1) The correct answer is option B: The number of adenines in a strand of DNA is equal to the number of thymines for the statements that is supported by Chargaff's rule about the composition of DNA.

2) The correct answer is option D: New DNA has one original strand and one replicated strand for the statement that DNA replication said to be semiconservative.

3) Central dogma of molecular biology means that formation of RNA from DNA and formation of protein from RNA.
