The two resulting strands of DNA are complementary to each other, meaning that the sequence of bases on one strand pairs specifically with the bases on the other strand (adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine). After DNA replication, each new double helix consists of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand, making them semi-conservative. The two strands are identical in sequence and structure, ensuring that genetic information is accurately passed on during cell division.
