Answer:
The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.
Explanation:
During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied during the cell division cycle. During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus
of a cell during the s stage of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.
Explanation:
of the <em><u>46</u></em><em> </em>chromosomes in the nuclei of every diploid human somatic cell, <em><u>23</u></em> chromosomes were contributed by the mother in the <em><u>egg (ovum)</u></em> cell and the other <em><u>23</u></em> chromosomes come from the father’s <em><u>sperm cell. </u></em>
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction or rather an asexual reproduction common in most prokaryotes.
This function happens when the organism divides itself producing another replica of its genetic material and now altogether as the organism itself.

<span>Parasites that live in the body are called endoparasites. An example of an endoparasite is a hookworm that lives in the hosts gut. </span>
Answer:
Reproductive cells have half the amount of chromosomes than body cells
Explanation:
I think that you are talking about body cells when you say "most cells in an organism." If that is the case, then the reproductive cells, sperm and egg cells, have half the amount of chromosome than body cells.
For example: Human body cells have 46 chromosomes. Human reproductive cells has 23 chromosomes.
In sexual reproduction, each parent gives 1/2 of a full set of chromosomes to create the full set needed for an organism.
