So based on the semiconserve replication of DNA we have our DNA molecule the original DNA molecule that consists of this double helix that contains two individual strands of DNA that we're going to call the parent strands or the parental strands so we have parental strand number one and it's complementary parental strand number two shown in blue. Now, before replication begins, we have to separate our DNA molecule. And so we separate the two individual strands of DNA and once we separate them, each one of these blue strands, the original parenthal strands, act as a template to synthesize the complementary new strand we're going to call the daughter strand that is shown in green. And following the replication process, this will be the distribution, the arrangement of the parent strand and the daughter strand. So in each one of these two DNA molecules, one of these strands will be conserved, it will be that original parental strand and the other one will be the complementary newly synthesized daughter strand. And so we have this semiconservative process in which we have 50% of that original parental strand and 50% of that newly synthesized daughter strand.
