Making an identical copy of DNA is called DNA __________.

DNA Replication must happen in the _________ of the cell.

Why is DNA replication referred to as semi-conservative?

• Only some of the base-pairing rules are followed during this process.

• The two new strands of DNA are not perfectly identical.

• The two new strands of DNA are made 1/2 of the old DNA, 1/2 of the new DNA.

• It is semi-conservation because only some of the DNA needs to be unzipped during the copying process.
