The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
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.
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.

5'-3' : One strand
Leading strands are one of the two newly synthesized DNA strands during DNA replication. They are synthesized in a continuous manner in the 5' to 3' direction, following the replication fork. The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the replication fork is moving, allowing for continuous synthesis.
leading strand
During DNA replication, the DNA molecule separates into two strands, then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template, or model, for the new strand.

one parent strand and one new strand of DNA.
DNA Polymerase
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.

DNA replication produces a complimentary DNA strand. Transcription produces a complimentary mRNA strand. The major enzyme that carries out DNA replication is DNA Polymerase III (in prokaryotes). The major enzyme that carries out transcription is RNA Polymerase. DNA replication results in two copies of the DNA. Transciption does not affect the DNA - it simply re-anneals (re-joins) after the process. In DNA replication the complementary base to A is T. In transcription the complementary base to A is U.
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.
