the process is called semi-conservative because it's half old and half new

When DNA replicates the new strand is what to the original strand?
The original strands provide a template for making new strands.
What is the new strand called in Dna replication?
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.
What is a polymerase commonly used for?
Polymerase are best know for their role in DNA and RNA replication. The polymerase reads the DNA or RNA strand as a template to synthesize a new strand.
Which enzymes catalyzes the elongation of a new DNA strand?
DNA polymerase catalyzes the reactions that are responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction. The parent DNA strand is read in the 3' to 5' direction but the daughter strand is extended in the opposite direction.
What is used to make a new complementary strand of DNA?
The process of DNA replication.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
What enzyne produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
When DNA replicates the new strand is what to the original strand?
The original strands provide a template for making new strands.
What is the new strand called in Dna replication?
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)
During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?
CCAATTG
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.
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.
What is a polymerase commonly used for?

DNA polymerase catalyzes the reactions that are responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction. The parent DNA strand is read in the 3' to 5' direction but the daughter strand is extended in the opposite direction.
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.
What does semi conservative mean regard to DNA replication?
replicated DNA is made of one old strand and one new strand.
