1 answer:
Answer:
D) An original parent DNA strand and one newly synthesized DNA strand comprising a new DNA molecule.
Explanation:
- Semi-conservative replication refers to two strands of DNA unzip, and a new strand is assembled onto each 'conserved' strand.
- The replicated double helix consists of one old strand and one newly synthesised strand.
- It describes the structure of DNA, a twisted helix of two strands with bases joining the strands.
