semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)

At the end of replication each new DNA molecule is composed of?
After DNA replication, each new molecule has one strand of the original DNA molecule and the other strand is composed of new nucleic acids. This is due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA.
Does the process of DNA replication result in a copy of the original strand of DNA?
The process of DNA replication is semi-conservative. Which means, in the new (daughter) DNA double helices that are formed, one strand belongs to the parent strand (also referred to as the template strand) and the other is a newly synthesized strand. Subsequently, every new DNA molecule that is formed as a result of the replication process has one original parent strand and one newly synthesized complimentary strand.
What does semi conservation mean in terms of DNA replication?
DNA Replication is semi-conservative because each DNA molecule is composed of 1 old strand and 1 new strand
DNA replication is semi-conservative. What does this mean?
When DNA is replicated, the new double-strand contains one old strand and one new strand. This means that one of the old strands has been conserved, making DNA replication semi-conservative.
What is the process in which the DNA double helix unfold and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand?
I believe it's called replication. not really sure though...
What enzyne produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
Why is replication called 'semi-conservative'?
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.
At the end of replication each new DNA molecule is composed of?
After DNA replication, each new molecule has one strand of the original DNA molecule and the other strand is composed of new nucleic acids. This is due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA.
Is DNA replication the same as DNA repair?
no replication makes a whole new strand of identical DNA while repair just replaces or cuts out mutations in the DNA strand
Does the process of DNA replication result in a copy of the original strand of DNA?
The process of DNA replication is semi-conservative. Which means, in the new (daughter) DNA double helices that are formed, one strand belongs to the parent strand (also referred to as the template strand) and the other is a newly synthesized strand. Subsequently, every new DNA molecule that is formed as a result of the replication process has one original parent strand and one newly synthesized complimentary strand.
What enzymes produced a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
What is used to make a new complementary strand of DNA?
The process of DNA replication.
What does semi conservation mean in terms of DNA replication?
DNA Replication is semi-conservative because each DNA molecule is composed of 1 old strand and 1 new strand
DNA replication is semi-conservative. What does this mean?
When DNA is replicated, the new double-strand contains one old strand and one new strand. This means that one of the old strands has been conserved, making DNA replication semi-conservative.
Can DNA be described as conservation?
DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each new DNA molecule has one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.
What does semi-conservative model mean?
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.
Explain the function of replication?
DNA replication requires the opening of the 'zipped up' DNA strand. This is so a 'new' strand of DNA can be inserted and have a template strand to 'read' off. DNA polymerase analyses the bases on the template strand and adds each complementary base to synthesise the 'new' strand. In order for DNA polymerase to be able to do this the DNA has to be opened up by helicase to reveal the bases of the template strand. The unzipping of the DNA by helicase forms the replication fork. Thus the function of the replication fork is to reveal template strands for DNA replication to actually occur.
