Question

$DNA$ replication is

Answer 1

Semiconservative $DNA$ replication:

The daughter $DNA$ formed as a result of $DNA$ replication has a parental strand and a newly formed complementary strand.

This mode of $DNA$ replication is called a semiconservative model of $DNA$ replication.

Semi-discontinuous replication:

The replication on the $3^{\prime }-5^{\prime }$ template strand is continuous and the newly synthesized strand is called leading strand. On the $5^{\prime }-3^{\prime }$ template strand replication is discontinuous and the newly synthesized strand is called lagging strand. Hence, the overall replication process in $DNA$ is considered as semi-discontinuous in nature.
