Answer:

The feature of DNA replication that makes it semi-conservative is the creation of new DNA strands from old DNA strands.

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs semi-conservatively because it is from two old DNA strands that the new DNA strands will emerge. Each new strand is complementary to the old strand, so the genetic code is retained in the new DNA molecules. Replication is initiated from single sources and usually occurs bi-directionally from each replication source. Replication fidelity is very high, with an average of only one error per billion nucleotides incorporated after error synthesis and correction during and immediately after replication.

Anna [14]
In a DNA molecule, three nucleotides make up a codon. A codon is creates a specific amino acid. Therefore, in order to work this out, we must calculate the number of codons that will not be affected by the mutation. This is done by finding the highest number that is divisible by 3 but less than 85. This can be done by:
85 / 3 = 28.333
So 28 codons will not be affected.

Identify an organism that is present in your local ecosystem, and discuss two limiting factors that may affect this organism.
Verdich [7]
Limiting factors of an ecosystem include disease, severe climate and weather changes, predator-prey relationships, commercial development, environmental pollution and more. An excess or depletion of any one of these limiting factors can degrade and even destroy a habitat.
