Q. Method of DNA replication in which two strands of DNA separate and synthesise new strands is called

A) dispersive
B) conservative
C) semi-conservative
D) non conservative.
Explanation

The method of DNA replication is semiconservative. According to the semi-conservative model proposed by Watson and Crick, each strand of the two double helices formed would have one old and one new strand. So, the parental identity is conserved upto half extent and hence DNA replication is semi-conservative.
