Question
Because one of the two strands of a replicated DNA molecule is newly synthesized and the other is the original template, DNA replication is said to be a ______ process.Multiple choice question.recursiveconservativesemiconservativedispersive
Solution
The correct answer is "semiconservative". This is because in DNA replication, each of the two daughter molecules will have one old strand, derived from the parent molecule, and one newly made strand. This type of replication is called semiconservative replication.
