DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each new DNA molecule has one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.
double helix.
DNA is described as the molecule of heredity because it contains the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms. DNA carries the genetic information that is passed from parent to offspring, determining traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases.
The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
mRNA is like a single strand instead of a double strand. If DNA is like a twisted ladder, then mRNA is like a single half of that ladder, with only half the bases.
Sir James Watson and Sir Francis Crick first described the molecular structure of DNA correctly. They not only mentioned the fact that DNA is a helical structure, but also described how the constituting molecules are arranged in the helix. The base-pairing, sugar-phosphate backbone were first described by Watson and Crick.

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

DNA itself does not have a taste because it is a molecule and not a food substance. However, some people have described the taste of DNA as slightly salty or metallic when it is present in the form of a solution.
double helix.
1950
The structure of DNA was described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
DNA is described as a double helix because its structure resembles a twisted ladder, with two strands that are twisted around each other in a spiral shape. This shape allows DNA to store and transmit genetic information efficiently.

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