DNA replication

Question 2

What is the main feature of semi-conservative DNA replication?

Answer 2

Each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.

Question 3

True or False: In semi-conservative replication, both strands of the original DNA molecule are conserved in the daughter molecules.
