What is meant that DNA replication follows a “semi-conservative” model?
After DNA replication, each strand contains one side that is a parental strand and the other side is a daughter strand.
After DNA replication, one completed strand contains only parental DNA while the other contains only daughter DNA.
None of these identify the “semi-conservative” model.
After DNA replication, one completed strand contains a mixture of both parental DNA and daughter DNA dispersed throughout the strand.
