Assertion [A]: The nature of DNA replication is semiconservative.
Reason [R]: Newly formed DNA contains one daughter and one parent DNA
Both, A and R, are correct and R explains A
Both, A and R, are correct but R not explains A
A is correct but R is wrong
A is wrong but R is correct
DNA replication is categorized as "semiconservative" because parental DNA strands are passed to newly produced daughter DNA helices, while the other strand appears to be complementary to DNA. DNA replication is also "semi-discontinuous". One strand of DNA is continuously developed whereas complementary DNA is discontinuously formed through Okazaki fragment
Option 1 is the correct answer.
