Semiconservative

What do we call DNA replication since new DNA has 1 parent strand and 1 new strand?

• Conservative 

• Semiconservative 

• Dispersive

Each DNA molecule created contain one NEW strand and one OLD strand

• True

• False

How is DNA replicated?

• Conservative

• Dispersive

• Lagging

• Semiconservative

What is the model of DNA replication where each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand?

• Conservative

• Semiconservative

• Dispersive

• Fragmentary

In the semiconservative model of DNA replication, what happens to the original DNA strands?

• They are completely degraded

• They remain intact and pair with new strands

• They are partially conserved

• They are fully conserved without pairing

Which experiment provided evidence for the semiconservative model of DNA replication?

• Hershey-Chase experiment

• Meselson-Stahl experiment

• Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment

• Griffith's experiment

During DNA replication, what is the role of DNA polymerase in the semiconservative model?

• It unwinds the DNA helix

• It synthesizes new DNA strands

• It joins Okazaki fragments

• It degrades RNA primers

Which of the following best describes the semiconservative replication of DNA?

• Each daughter DNA molecule contains two new strands

• Each daughter DNA molecule contains two old strands

• Each daughter DNA molecule contains one old and one new strand

• Each daughter DNA molecule contains fragments of old and new strands

What is the significance of the semiconservative model in genetic inheritance?

• It ensures genetic diversity

• It maintains genetic stability

• It causes mutations

• It leads to genetic drift

In the context of semiconservative replication, what is the function of helicase?

• It synthesizes RNA primers

• It unwinds the DNA double helix

• It seals nicks in the DNA backbone

• It adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand
