These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.

A good reason for why tobacco smoke is considered a carcinogen is because it causes mutations leading to cancer.

Answer:
The correct answer is: semi-conservative.
Explanation:
DNA replication is an important process in which the DNA is duplicated before cell division so each daughter cell can have a copy of genetic material.
DNA replication is <u>semi-conservative because one strand of DNA is new and the other one is the old strand</u>. To replicate itself, the DNA double helix is opened, and then each strand serves as a model for the new strands.
DNA replication is <u>not a one-step process</u>, as it takes several complicated steps in which <u>lots on enzymes participate</u> (like DNA polymerase and DNA helicase).
DNA replication is <u>also carried by prokaryotic cells</u>, though it's a much simpler process.
