dna replication is referred to as being "semiconservative". Explain what this means.

When DNA is copied 1 new strand of bases is attached to an existing strand.  In the new double stranded molecule you have a conserved strand, the strand from the original molecule and a new strand.  The process is "semi-conservative" because half of the original molecule is conserved.
