At the completion of DNA replication, each new DNA molecule consists of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized (daughter) strand. This process is referred to as semi-conservative replication. Therefore, each new double helix of DNA conserves 50% of the original DNA: one strand is inherited from the parent molecule, and the other strand is newly formed.
In summary, each new DNA molecule is composed of 50% conserved parental DNA and 50% newly synthesized DNA.
In summary, each new DNA molecule is composed of 50% conserved parental DNA and 50% newly synthesized DNA.
