Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 6TY
Meselson and Stahl were able to demonstrate semiconservative replication in E. coli by
- a. using radioactive isotopes of phosphorus to label the original strand and visually determining the relationship of original and new DNA strands.
- b. using different enzymes to eliminate old strands from DNA.
- c. using isotopes of nitrogen to label the DNA and determining the relationship of original and new DNA strands by density differences of the new DNA molecules.
- d. labeling viral DNA before it was incorporated into a bacterial cell and visually determining the location of the DNA after centrifugation.
