DNA replication involves unwinding two strands of parent DNA, copying each strand to synthesize complementary strands, and releasing the resulting two semiconserved strands of DNA. Which description is accurate for this process?
A) Conservative replication: Each daughter DNA molecule contains one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
B) Dispersive replication: The parent DNA molecule is broken into pieces, and each piece is used as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA strand.
C) Semiconservative replication: Each daughter DNA molecule contains one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
D) Bidirectional replication: DNA replication proceeds in one direction along the parent DNA molecule, creating two daughter DNA molecules.
