In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein.
DNA replication is semiconservative in the sense that is uses one old strand to create a new strand.
Thus, it conserves a strand to create a new item in a sense.
Hope this helps!
