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 is it called when a DNA copies itself?
DNA replication
How is DNA replication affected by a lack of mRNA?
Not at all. mRNA is not involved in DNA replication as it is involved in transcription and translation.
Where is a molecule split during replication?
At a specific location known as the "replication fork," DNA splits or "unzips" during replication. The split of the double-stranded DNA molecule into two single strands occurs at the replication fork. Due to this division, the replication apparatus may access and duplicate each of the single DNA strands, resulting in the creation of two identical DNA molecules that each include one original and one freshly manufactured strand. DNA replication is necessary for cell division and the genetic information transfer to daughter cells.

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.
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.
DNA replication is also called?
DNA replication is the second part of inter-phase where the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its cell. Please see the answer to the related question below..
What enzyme replicates DNA during semi-conservative replication?
Polymerase
What are the major differences between semi-conservative and conservative replication?
According to the conservative mode, of the two double helices formed one would be entirely of old material and the other entirely of new material. Thus the old parent double helix would be unchanged. According to the semi Conservative mode proposed by Watson and Crick, each strand of the two double helices formed would have one old and one new strand
Which is not a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA?
Non-conservative replication is not a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA. This method would involve the complete replacement of both strands in each daughter DNA molecule and is not supported by the semi-conservative model proposed by Watson and Crick.
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.
What does semi - conservative mean in regard to DNA replication?
One strand is new, and one is old.
What is the function of replication?
The function of cell replication is to replace old and dead cells with new ones. sources: California Life Science
How is DNA copied semi-conservative replication?
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
How DNA copied in semi-conservative replication?
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
Why is replication called 'semi-conservative'?
DNA replication is said to be 'semi-conservative' because the two new daughter DNA molecules are "Half old" and "Half new". Half the original DNA molecule is saved, or conserved in the daughter molecules.
