Dear Student, DNA replication is the phenomenon in which a duplicate copy of DNA is synthesised In replication, two strands of the DNA helix separate and each strand acts as a template for synthesising new complementary strands After completion of replication, the two copies so produced will have one parental and one newly synthesised strand This scheme of replication is called semi-conservative replication Hope this helps, Cheers !!

dna replication

Dear Student,

DNA replication is the phenomenon in which a duplicate copy of DNA is synthesised.
In replication, two strands of the DNA helix separate and each strand acts as a template for synthesising new complementary strands.
After completion of replication, the two copies so produced will have one parental and one newly synthesised strand. This scheme of replication is called semi-conservative replication.

Hope this helps,

Cheers !!
