The method of DNA replication is _____________(a) conservative(b) semi-conservative(c) non-conservative(d) disruptiveI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I need to ask this question from Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes topic in chapter Bioenergetics, Enzymes, Metabolism, Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right option is (b) semi-conservative

For explanation I WOULD say: In DNA replication , the two daughter STRANDS unwind and are used as template for the formation of a new DNA STRAND. As a result, one strand in conserved and a new strand is produced by taking the conserved strand as a template. Thus, DNA replication is a semi-conservative process.
