Does the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication cause variation? If so, explain how?
Added by Angela J.
Step 1
This process is known as semi-conservative replication because each newly synthesized DNA molecule consists of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized (daughter) strand. Now, does this semi-conservative nature of DNA replication cause variation? Show more…

What does semi-conservative replication mean when describing DNA replication? most of the errors are fixed and mutations are rare half the DNA is saved while the other half is discarded newly generated DNA molecules have one strand of the old molecule and one new strand DNA molecules are unwound and unzipped in the replication process
