The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
What unzips DNA strand is a particular protein called Helicase. Helicase unwinds DNA's double helix at the replication fork.
no replication makes a whole new strand of identical DNA while repair just replaces or cuts out mutations in the DNA strand
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
The process of duplicating or producing an exact copy, as in DNA replication.

leading strand
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.

DNA Replication is semi-conservative because each DNA molecule is composed of 1 old strand and 1 new strand
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.
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.
