One strand is new, and one is old.
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.
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each newly synthesized DNA molecule is made up of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand. This was demonstrated by the Meselson-Stahl experiment in 1958.
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.
replicated DNA is made of one old strand and one new strand.
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.

Polymerase
Semi-conservative refers to the mechanism of DNA replication where each new DNA molecule contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. This process ensures that the genetic information is preserved and passed on accurately during cell division.
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..
Semi-conservative replication means that when DNA replicates, each new DNA molecule contains one strand from the original DNA molecule and one newly synthesized strand. This process helps maintain the accuracy of genetic information during cell division.
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.
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
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
The original DNA molecule is the template for the new DNA molecules.
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.
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.
