Why is DNA replication describe as semiconservative

Biology
1 answer:
padilas [110]3 years ago
8 0
Semiconservative DNA replication is a mechanism of DNA replication which results in two copies of DNA, each consisting of one parental DNA strand and one newly synthesized. Each strand of DNA helix serves as a template for new strands. The new strand remains associated with template strand.
Oppositely, in conservative DNA replication, each strand of DNA helix serves as a template for new strands, but new strands separate from template strands and associate into new DNA, so one DNA copy has both original strands, and another one has both new strands.

Ordinary cell division produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical. This type of cell division is important for a
Ratling [72]

Answer:

C) production of sperm and eggs

Explanation:

Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.  

Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.  

Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells.  If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.

Anit [1.1K]
A little bit less than a purposely discovery. A discovery that you've been looking for for a while would be like 75% of discovering but accidentally would be 35% of actually discovering something accidentally.
