What does it mean that DNA is a semiconservative process?
It means that the original strands are conserved.
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)
How does DNA in a new cell compare to the old cell when it replicates?
Since replication is semi-conservative and DNA replicates before mitosis the DNA in the new and old cell ( if you wish to use that terminology, as both are daughter cells ) is composed of one new strand and one old template 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 Elongating?
new DNA strand is made using the original as a template
What happens when DNA replicates semiconservatively?
This means that the new double-strand will have one strand of the original DNA and one new strand. This is known as semi-conservative because one strand is conserved (not replaced).
How DNA replicates?
DNA first unwinds by the polymerase into two strands, then polymerases run over the two strands, replace a new strand on each old strand, forming two new DNA with one new strand and one original strand in each. (The polymerase is the enzyme)
What does it mean that DNA is a semiconservative process?
It means that the original strands are conserved.
DNA replication results in two DNA molecules?
Each with one new strand and one original strand.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
When DNA replicates what are the new DNA made of?
its made of DNA. Replication just doubles the DNA, just like when bacteria or humans replicate.. the new human is .. well made of human.... It is opposite and anti-parallel.... 5-AATGTC-3 Original strand 3-TTACAG-5 new strand Each new molecule will have 1 original strand, and 1 daughter/newly synthesized strand. DNA replication results in DNA DNA transcription results in a strand of RNA
How does each separated strand begin a new strand?
With a small piece of primer,and active polymerase(enzyme) it replicates the complementary strand of the DNA
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

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.
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.
