During DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] replication, each of the two strands that make up the double helix serves as a template from which new strands are copied. The new strand will be complementary to the parental or "old" strand. Each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand. This is known as semiconservative replication.  1, record 1, English, - semiconservative%20replication

The DNA double helix consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted round each other and linked by bonds between bases in each strand. Guanine(G) always pairs with cytosine(C), while adenine(A) always pairs with thymine(T).

The size of a piece of DNA is measured in nucleotides(nt), base pairs(bp), kilobases(kb or kbp=1000 bp) or megabases(Mb or Mbp=1 000 000 bp). Because DNA is virtually always double-stranded, the distinction between bases and base pairs is often ignored when talking about the size of a piece of DNA. Thus a DNA double helix comprising one million base pairs can be described as either 1 Mbp or 1 Mb – it is not 2 Mb.  2, record 10, English, - megabase
