3 Questions
The Meselson-Stahl experiment demonstrated that DNA replication produces two DNA molecules each composed of:
one old and one new strand.
In the Meselson-Stahl DNA replication experiment, what percent of the DNA was composed of one light strand and one heavy strand after one generation of growth in N-14 containing growth media?
100
What data would Meselson and Stahl have expected if DNA replication was conservative, rather than semiconservative?
. In the first generation, there would be one band of heavy density. In the second generation there would be one band of light density.
