Answer:

DNA replication is described as semi-conservative.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA replication is described as semi-conservative because each double helix formed comprises one strand from the helix from which it was copied and a new strand. That is, the replication of one helix results into two new copies of which each contains one of the original double stranded helix from which it was synthesized.
