the DNA structure which is thicker and bold- N15
the DNA structure which is lighter and thinner- N14.
This is the structure of DNA after 2 round of replication.this is the result after density gradient centrifugation after each replication step.If the DNA replication is conservative then this would have been the result.
But in the actual result of centrifugation after 2 round of replication intermediate gradient of N15/N14 also was present. So it can be concluded that dDNA replication is not conservativeIf the DNA replication is dispersive then this would have been the result but in actual result there were two prominent gradient observed after two round of replication,so it can be concluded that DNA replication is not dispersive.
QUESTION 27 The Meselson and Stahl experiment was used to compare the conservative, semiconservative and dispersive...
In the late 1950s, Meselson and Stahl grew bacteria in a medium containing "heavy" nitrogen (^15 N) and then transferred the bacteria to a medium containing^14 N ("lighter" nitrogen) and allowed some of the the bacteria to undergo one round of replication and some bacteria to undergo two rounds of replication. They then performed density gradient centrifugation and looked to see where the DNA settled in the test tube. In the diagram below, draw bands indicating the density of the...
How did Meselson and Stahl distinguish between semiconservative and conservative replication in their experiment? a After two rounds of replication, only mixed DNA molecules were present in the gradient. b After one round of replication, only mixed DNA molecules were present in the gradient. c After one round of replication, only heavy DNA molecules were present in the gradient. d After one round of replication, only mixed DNA strands were present in alkaline gradients.
In a famous experiment, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl grew E.coli cells in a medium containing only the "her isotope of nitrogen, SN. These cells were then transferred to a medium with the "light" isotope of nitrogen, "N. The results of the experiment supported the hypothesis of semiconservative replication, which was proposed by Watson and Crick. Heavy DNA ('N DNA), hybrid DNA, and light DNA (N DNA) can be separated by centrifugation. If cells containing 1SN DNA are transferred to...
Briefly describe the Meselson and Stahl experiment that indicated that DNA replication is semiconservative. How would their results have differed if DNA replication was actually conservative in nature?
*BIOCHEMISTRY QUESTION ABOUT MESELSON AND STAHL* There were 3 possible models for DNA replication prior to the Meselson and Stahl experiment, one of which was dispersive replication. a) Assuming that this is relatively uniform (each of the new chromosomes gets roughly equal amounts of the old ones) draw the peak traces for 0, 1, 2, 5 and 10 generations. b) If dispersive replication was not relatively uniform how would your answer change?
Why were Meselson and Stahl unable to distinguish between the dispersive and the semiconservative models following only one round of DNA replication? 2. Describe in order, the four repeating steps that repeat over and over on the discontinuous lagging strand of DNA replication and name the major proteins required to carry out each of these steps in E. coli. The first function is given . I. Function: Create RNA primer Enzyme: II. Function: Enzyme: III. Function: Enzyme: IV. Function: Enzyme:...
After Watson and Crick proposed the double helix model of DNA, three models for DNA replication were proposed: conservative, semiconservative and dispersive. The following figures illustrate the Meselson and Stahl experiment, which demonstrated the correctness of the semiconservative model of DNA replication N15 N14 How would the results be if the correct model was the conservative or dispersive: 1. Conservative: 20 40 60 80 Time (min.) 2. Dispersive 20 40 60 80 Time (min.)
Please need help answering question A the pages of background information are posted thanks Read page 196-197 and figure 6.20. regarding Meselson and Stahl’s experiment regarding DNA replication. And Answer the following question If you are using this radioactive technique in mouse cells, what would happen in each phase of G1, S, G2, mitosis and meiosis assuming that you are grown cells in 15N medium for many generations and cells in G1are then switched to 14N medium?

please explain in details the answer I Q.9. (5 points) What result would Meselson and Stahl have obtained if the replication of DNA were conservative? Give the expected distribution of "heavy", "light" and "hybrid" DNA molecules after 1.0 and 2.0 generations for conservative replication. I Q.9. (5 points) What result would Meselson and Stahl have obtained if the replication of DNA were conservative?

If DNA was replicated via a conservative mechanism and you repeated the Meselson and Stahl experiment, what would you expect to see when the bacteria was allowed to replicate 3 times (60 min) in the N14 medium and DNA was extracted and centrifuged? Select one: a. several bands (uncountable) forming a smear across the tube b. Two bands one formed using only N14 and one formed by N15 c. it is impossible to determine given the information provided d. Two...
