Replication is called semiconservative because half of the original strand is inherited.

Explanation:

In the semiconservative replication type, half of the original DNA or one strand of the double helix, is conserved in the daughter strand, while the other half is conserved in the second daughter strand. Therefore, at the end of replication two DNA double-stranded helix, are obtained, containing each one, 50% of the original DNA and 50% of the new one.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
