|
|
|
both double strands have different percentages of nucleotides
|
|
|
both double strands have a newly created strand and an original template strand
|
|
|
an entirely new synthesized DNA molecule is created, while the original double helix stays together
|
|
|
parts from each original strand will be used as templates when creating the new double helix, resulting in a patchwork combination of both original and newly-synthesized nucleotides
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most important concepts of DNA replication is that it is a semi-conservative process (Figure 7.2. 7). This means that every double helix in the new generation of an organism consists of one complete “old” strand and one complete “new” strand wrapped around each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Semiconservative replication is so named because one of the strands of DNA in each of the two copies of DNA is ancient and conserved while the other is newly produced at the moment of replication.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the semiconservative model, after one round of replication, every new DNA double helix would be a hybrid that consisted of one strand of old DNA bound to one strand of newly synthesized DNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -semiconservative replication definition. The mode by which DNA replicates. Each strand acts as a template for a new double helix. The established model of DNA replication in which each double-stranded molecule is composed of one parental strand and one newly polymerized strand.
