At the end of DNA replication, each of the daughter molecules has one old strand, derived from the parent strand of DNA and one strand that is newly synthesized. This explains why DNA replication is described as

SEMI-CONSERVATIVE

Explanation:

In semi-conservative DNA replication,

- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.

- Each strand is then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate synthesis of a new daughter strand

- the newly synthesized strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.

Thus, because the parent strand is retained in the newly synthesized DNA, DNA replication is described as semi-conservative

yes you are doing it right great gob
