Question

semiconservative replication
the replication of dna is semiconservative. this means that some of the
original strand of dna is preserved. to be precise, one parental strand of dna
is preserved while one new strand is created in the duplicated double helix.
the original, or parent, strand serves as a template for the new strand.

1. during dna replication, half of the strand is conserved in the new

molecules created. this is called
replication.

1. the parent strand serves as a

for the new strand.

1. each new double helix will contain

strand of dna from the
parent strand and
strand of newly created dna.
old
new

Explanation:

Question 4

The text at the top defines DNA replication as semiconservative, and the question states that half the strand is conserved in new molecules, so the term is semiconservative.

The passage says "The original, or parent, strand serves as a template for the new strand", so the word is template.

From the definition of semiconservative replication, each new double helix has one old (parent) strand and one new strand. So the first blank is one, the second is one.

Answer:

semiconservative
