Question
Meselson-Stahl Experiment showed that
DNA replication is semi-conservative. In the
experiment, DNA was originally labeled
with ¹5N. Then ¹5N-labeled DNA was
duplicated in the presence of ¹4N-
nucleotides. It was found that the second-
generation daughter DNA (after two rounds
of replication) consists of
all ¹4N-DNA
O b. 50% of hybrid 15N-¹4N DNA and 50% ¹5N-DNA
all 15N-DNA
d. 50% of hybrid ¹5N-¹4N DNA and 50% ¹4N-DNA
15
all hybrid ¹5N-14N DNA
