In the conservative model of DNA replication, the parental DNA molecule remains intact and serves as a template for the synthesis of a completely new daughter DNA molecule. The resulting progeny DNA molecules, therefore, consist of one entirely old parental strand and one entirely new daughter strand.
DNA replication produces a copy of the DNA. At the same time the cell in which the DNA is to be found splits into two with a copy of the DNA in each. DNA replication is caused by cell replication during the process of mitosis.
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.

DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
Telomerase is the least related because it is not directly involved in the replication process of DNA like Okazaki fragments, the replication fork, DNA polymerase, or the semi-conservative model. Telomerase functions to maintain the length of telomeres in eukaryotic chromosomes, which is separate from the actual DNA replication machinery.
Prokaryotic DNA replication has a single origin of replication, leading to two replication forks. In contrast, eukaryotic DNA replication has multiple origins of replication, resulting in multiple replication forks forming along the DNA molecule.
The double helix model became the accepted structure of DNA because it fit the experimental evidence, especially from X-ray crystallography of the DNA molecule.
DNA is copied during a process called DNA replication. This process occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves making an exact copy of the original DNA molecule. DNA replication is essential for cell division and passing genetic information from one generation to the next.

DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand at the replication fork during the process of DNA replication.
The diagram that models replication in which DNA is copied before mitosis occurs is called the semi-conservative replication model. In this model, each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two identical DNA molecules, each one containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
