DNA replication is semi-conservativebecause each helix that is created contains one strand from the helix from which it was copied. The replication of one helix results in two daughter helices each of which contains one of the original parental helical strands.

Heya
Answer to your question is--
At the time of replication, the two strands of DNA separate and act as a template for the synthesis of new complementary strands.
After the completion of replication, each DNA molecule would have one parental and one newly synthesized strand.
This type of replication is termed as semiconservative DNA replication as it conserves one parental strand for each daughter DNA and one strand is newly synthesized. So, half of the parental DNA is conserved in both the strands.
