Examine the schematic representation of centrosome duplication in Figure 18-13. By analogy with DNA replication, would you classify centrosome duplication as conservative or semiconservative? Explain your answer.

Centrosome duplication is semiconservative. The paired centrioles in the centrosome separate, and each serves to nucleate the assembly of a new centriole. As a consequence, each new centrosome consists of one old and one new centriole. Thus, centrosome duplication is analogous to DNA replication, in which the new double helix consists of one old DNA strand and one newly replicated DNA strand.
