Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is a semi-conservative process, because when a new double-stranded DNA molecule is formed: One strand will be from the original template molecule. One strand will be newly synthesised.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication is ‘semi-discontinuous’ because one of the strands is synthesized continuously, while the other strand, is discontinuously by the formation of Okazaki fragments. This was discovered in the year 1968 by a Japanese scientist couple-Reiji Okazaki and his wife Tsuneko Okazaki.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each DNA molecule contains one strand of the original DNA molecule and one newly synthesized (made) strand. Therefore, DNA replication is called semiconservative.
