'DNA replication is semi-conservative'. Explain.


Replication of DNA involves the unwinding of the double-helix structure. Each single strand then acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule again with a specific base pairing. During this replication, only half of the parental DNA is conserved and only one strand is synthesised. That’s why DNA replication is semiconservative.
