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: -Each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand. This is known as semiconservative replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Semiconservative replication entails the replication of one parental strand to give its complementary strand and the replication of the other parental strand to give its complementary strand; each parental strand then stays with its newly replicated, complementary strand (6).
