The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.


What does semi - conservative mean in regard to DNA replication?

One strand is new, and one is old.


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.


Replication is called semi conservation because half of the original strand is what?

Replication is calledsemi-conservative, because one half of the original strand is always saved, or "conserved"-Kally :)


How does DNA semi-conservative replication help prevent mutations in 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.


DNA replication is also called?

Is DNA replication describe as conservative or semi conservative?

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.


What does semi conservation mean in DNA?

Simply means one strand is conserved, as the original template and the other strand in the double stranded DNA is modified.


What is the name of the DNA replication process that produces two identical DNA molecules each consisting of one parent strand and one daughter strand?

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.


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.


Why is DNA replication semi-conserbribe?

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.
