Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The result of DNA replication is two DNA molecules consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides. This is why DNA replication is described as semi-conservative, half of the chain is part of the original DNA molecule, half is brand new.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. DNA replication is the process by which the genome’s DNA is copied in cells. Before a cell divides, it must first copy (or replicate) its entire genome so that each resulting daughter cell ends up with its own complete genome.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.
