What does it mean for DNA Replication to be ‘semi-conservative’?
|
The two new DNA Molecules will each contain one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.
|
|
One new DNA Molecule will be composed of two new strands and the other molecule will be composed of two old strands
|
|
The two new DNA Molecules will be all mixed together with new and old bases
|
|
A random amount of the new DNA molecule will be from the original molecule
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is semiconservative, meaning that each strand in the DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This process takes us from one starting molecule to two “daughter” molecules, with each newly formed double helix containing one new and one old strand.
