Practice problem
What does semi-conservative mean when describing DNA replication?
After replication, there is a DNA molecule with 2 new strands and a DNA molecule with 2 original strands.
DNA is rarely replicated in order to conserve it makeup as much as possible.
When DNA is replicated, each of the two new DNA molecules consists of 1 new strand and 1 original strand.
During replication, only half of the original DNA sequence is passed on to the new strands.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
