**The Meselson-Stahl Experiment: Understanding DNA Density and Replication**The image represents an experiment based on the Meselson-Stahl experiment, which investigated the process of DNA replication. In this experiment, bacteria were initially grown in a medium containing the heavier isotope of nitrogen, \(^{15}N\), and then transferred to a medium with the lighter isotope, \(^{14}N\). The aim was to explore how DNA replicates in terms of its density over successive generations.**Descriptions of Test Tubes and Their Corresponding DNA Samples:**- **a) DNA from E. coli grown in \(^{15}N\):** - Represents DNA that is fully incorporated with the heavier isotope, resulting in the densest band. - **Test Tube Match:** Test Tube 1- **b) DNA from E. coli grown in \(^{14}N\):** - Represents DNA fully incorporated with the lighter isotope, resulting in the least dense band. - **Test Tube Match:** Test Tube 2- **c) A 1:1 mixture of DNA from cells grown in \(^{14}N\) and cells grown in \(^{15}N\):** - Represents hybrid DNA containing one strand of each isotope, resulting in an intermediate density. - **Test Tube Match:** Test Tube 3- **d) A 1:1 mixture of DNA grown in \(^{14}N\) and \(^{15}N\), heated and allowed to re-anneal:** - Demonstrates the reversible separation of strands and reformation of hybrid DNA. - **Test Tube Match:** Test Tube 4- **e) DNA containing one strand of \(^{15}N\) and one strand of \(^{14}N\):** - Also represents hybrid DNA, emphasizing the semiconservative nature of DNA replication. - **Test Tube Match:** Test Tube 5**Visual Representation:**The diagram alongside consists of five test tubes aligned horizontally, each with a band representing DNA at different densities. The position of these bands indicates the weight of the DNA, with those containing \(^{15}N\) positioned lower due to greater density compared to bands with \(^{14}N\), which are positioned higher.Understanding these visuals and descriptions helps in comprehending how DNA molecules replicate and incorporate isotopes, confirming the semiconservative model of DNA

The Meselson-Stahl experiment showed that DNA replication is a semiconservative process. In this…

Please help me do this step by step.
Draw a diagram showing what pGEM will look like after it has been digested with BamHI. Be sure to show both strands (with enzyme sequence) and include the origin of replication, the ampicillin resistance gene, 3’ and 5’, and the DNA sequence at the restriction site. It will probably be easiest to simply draw it as an open circle, not a line. Now show what pGEM will look like after it has been digested with EcoRI instead of BamHI. Again, be sure to show both strands and include the origin of replication, the ampicillin resistance gene, 3’ and 5’, and the DNA sequence at the restriction site.
All of the following are performed during restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. 1. splitting of double-stranded into single-stranded DNA 2. gel electrophoresis 3. autoradiography 4. immersion in radioactive probes 5. digestion of DNA with restriction endonucleases 6. use of a positive charge to transfer single-stranded DNA from a gel to a membrane.
