explain how dna is replicated
DNA is double-stranded. The semi-conservative idea of replication means that the two strands split apart and each strand is used as a template to make a new strand. This metho â¦ d allows each daughter cell to have one old strand and one new strand.NA primers attach to single stranded DNA and DNA polymerase extends from the primers to form new strands of DNA, adding nucleotides matched to the template strand. The unwinding of DNA and synthesis of new strands forms a replication fork.
