Detailed explanation-1: -semi·con·ser·va·tive-kən-ˈsər-vət-iv. : relating to or being genetic replication in which a double-stranded molecule of nucleic acid separates into two single strands each of which serves as a template for the formation of a complementary strand that together with the template forms a complete molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -This continuously synthesized strand is known as the leading strand. Because DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA in a 5′ to 3′ direction, the other new strand is put together in short pieces called Okazaki fragments. The Okazaki fragments each require a primer made of RNA to start the synthesis.
