The parental strand serves as a template for the daughter strand because DNA is semiconservative, with one original strand retained in each of the two resulting identical double-stranded DNA molecules.
DNA replication is semiconservative because each of the two resulting double-stranded DNA molecules retains one parental strand and synthesizes one daughter strand.
