Semi conservative. The double strand splits into two strands and then a strand is replicated from the template of the two strands constructing four total strands. Two original and two copies.
Semi conservative replication prevents mutations during DNA replication because it produces 2 copies that each contained 1 of the original strands and 1 entirely new strand.
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
One strand is new, and one is old.
I think there is a mistake in the question. The DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because during DNA replication one stand will be parental and the other will be newly formed. This happens due to the complimentary base pairing.
Non-conservative replication is not a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA. This method would involve the complete replacement of both strands in each daughter DNA molecule and is not supported by the semi-conservative model proposed by Watson and Crick.
DNA replication is described as semi-conservative. The reason is because semi-conservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one entirely new strand.

DNA replication is the second part of inter-phase where the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its cell. Please see the answer to the related question below..

The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
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.
I'm not an expert on this subject but as I've learned, DNA is split into two replication forks where the complimentary base pairs and other backbones are added on, so ideally it would be 50% of the original strand in each daughter strand.
One strand is new, and one is old.
According to the conservative mode, of the two double helices formed one would be entirely of old material and the other entirely of new material. Thus the old parent double helix would be unchanged. According to the semi Conservative mode proposed by Watson and Crick, each strand of the two double helices formed would have one old and one new strand
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.
