Answer:

DNA replication is called semiconservative because the new DNA helices are formed by a new strand and an old strand, commonly called daughter strand and mother strand.

Explanation:

This happens as the DNA is replicated from the replication fork by the DNA-polymerase, using the old strands as templates to create the new strand with its complementary bases. This results on two double helices formed by an old and a new strand. This was proved by the experiment of Meselson and Stahl.

Answer:

brown bear

Explanation:

Brown bears have long, intimidating claws. However, since they are not retractable, they are relatively blunt and are usually used for digging. These bears are incredibly strong, able to break the necks of many large prey with one powerful blow. Their thick fur and layer of fat help to insulate them against the extreme cold temperatures of their habitat.
