Method of DNA replication in which two strands of DNA separate and synthesize new strands :
A
Dispersive
B
Conservative
C
Semiconservative
D
Non conservative
Detailed Solution
In semiconservative replication, the two strands of the DNA double helix separate, and each acts as a template for a new complementary strand.
So each daughter DNA has one old strand and one new strand. This was proved by Meselson and Stahl (1958) using $^{15}N$.
So the method is semiconservative.
