Refers to semi-conservative replication of DNA. One strand of the old DNA is used as a template to replicate the other, new, strand of DNA. Thus you have four from two, but two of the four are old strands while the other two strands are new. Thus the name semi-conservative replication.

∙ 12y agoThis is the type of DNA replication where the new strands of DNA are made from the old strands which are called templates. So, from two strands you get four. One new strand paired with the old template strand.

What is conservative replication in science?
Conservative replication and semiconservative replication are the ways DNA reproduces itself. The difference being whether the newly formed strands pair with each other or with an old one.
What does idea model mean in science?
Idea science is how my but is formef
What does model mean science term?
A model is a physical three dimensional object that is created too appear as an object which is usually too small or large.
What is an abstract model?
An abstract model is a mathematical model which contains an abstraction.
What model represents current atomic theory?
The most accurate, but not user friendly and usable model is the quantum mechanic atom model (QM model)
The best objective to describe DNA replication is?
When a cell copies its DNA into the daughter cells with swag.
What is least Related to the others on this list okazaki fragments replication fork telomerase DNA polymerase semiconservative model?
Telomerase
What does it mean that DNA is a semiconservative process?
It means that the original strands are conserved.
Where in the cell does semiconservative DNA replication occur?
it occurs in the nucleus
What is the survival value of semiconservative replication of DNA?
21 days
What period in which semiconservative DNA replication occurs?
S Phase
Which two models have similar results after replication cycle 1?
semiconservative and dispersive
Semiconservative replication involes a template what is the template?
one strand of the DNA molecule
What is the Meselson-Stahl experiment?
the reason for this experiment was to clarify how DNA replicates.There were 3 suggested models :the conservative.the semiconservative and the dispersive model. The experiment proved that DNA replicates in a semiconservative way i.e each of the parental strands serves as a template for the composition of a new strand.
What was Meselson and Stalh's confirmation of DNA's semiconservative sides of a DNA helix?
density gradient centrifugation
Who performed the classic experiments that proved DNA was copied by semiconservative replication?
Watson and Crick mentioned it slightly in their paper but didn't propose a full method of replication. a number of different people collaborated to work out the full model of replication which is still no totaly finished, (few proteins left to find)
What is the term which describes the fact that half of the old DNA molecule is kept in new molecule?
Semiconservative replication
