Why is DNA replication described as semiconservative?
A
Each daughter DNA molecule contains one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
B
Only one strand of the parental DNA is copied, while the other strand is degraded and not inherited.
C
Both parental strands remain together in one daughter molecule while the other daughter molecule is composed entirely of new DNA.
D
The parental DNA is broken into fragments, and each fragment serves as a template to make a completely new double helix.
