Method of DNA replication in which two
strands of DNA separates and synthesize new
strands
- AConservative
- BNon conservative
- CDispersive
- DSemiconservative
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
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.
