semiconservative replication (medicine)


semiconservative replication
<molecular biology> The system of replication of DNA found in all cells in which each daughter cell receives one old strand of DNA and one strand newly synthesised at the preceding S phase.

The existence of semiconservative replication was demonstrated by the Meselson Stahl experiment and implies the two or multi strandedness of DNA.
