Why is dna replication said to be semi-conservative

Biology
1 answer:
Neko [114]4 years ago
7 0

During DNA Replication, the DNA molecule unzips itself so that there are two free strands of DNA. Both of those strands then create new complementary strands of DNA. Thus every subsequent generation of DNA uses one of the parent cell's strand of DNA as a template, which is why DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative. Hope this helped!

How is DNA created?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating. ... DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases.

9. Look closely at the illustration above. a. What process is occurring? b. What is being made? c. How can you tell?
mars1129 [50]
The answers are:

A. DNA replication in the nucleus of a cell
B. From one helix of DNA in a replication process, we get two: The DNA is a double helix and it consists of two strands of specifically connected amino-acids. When the time for replication comes, a set of enzymes unwind the two strands and leave them as a base for additional two strands attaching to them - the green line is an example of that. The free nucleotides - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are left open and the enzyme called DNA-polymerase helps to produce a new strand on the template of the old parental one (one of the blue ones in the picture) 
C. By the location on the smaller picture - replication takes place in the nucleus. And the most important hint are the letters A - adenine, G - guanine, T- thymine, and C-cytosine. A connects with T, and G connects with C.

In radishes, the gene that controls color exhibits incomplete dominance. Pure-breeding red
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The possible genotype of this cross is RW

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for radish color. The allele for red radish (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white radish (W), hence, a third intermediate phenotype is formed when they combine (RW).

In this cross, a pure-breeding red radish (RR) is crossed with a pure breeding white radish (WW) to create the F1 offspring. The red radish will produce gametes R while the white radish will produce gametes W, hence, using a punnet square (see attached image), the F1 offspring will have the genotype: RW.
