replication
DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each new DNA molecule has one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.
DNA is copied during a process called DNA replication. This process occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves making an exact copy of the original DNA molecule. DNA replication is essential for cell division and passing genetic information from one generation to the next.
DNA replication is said to be 'semi-conservative' because the two new daughter DNA molecules are "Half old" and "Half new". Half the original DNA molecule is saved, or conserved in the daughter molecules.

DNA replication
A cell's DNA is copied during replication.
Semi-conservative replication means that when DNA replicates, each new DNA molecule contains one strand from the original DNA molecule and one newly synthesized strand. This process helps maintain the accuracy of genetic information during cell division.
