What is semi-conservative replication?
During DNA replication, the two DNA strands separate and each acts as a template (due to base pairing) for DNA polymerase to use to make the second strand of DNA. As a result, each new DNA molecule has one original DNA strand and one newly synthesised strand hence half of the molecule is conserved.
