DNA replcation is explained by the semiconservative model. It was a seminal experiement performed by Meselson and Stahl. It showed that two strands of the DNA separate during replication, each strand replicating and forming a new DNA molecule.
DNA replication can be correctly explained by the model. Chargaff Dispersive Semiconservative Conservative Independent assortment
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.)
QUESTION 27 The Meselson and Stahl experiment was used to compare the conservative, semiconservative and dispersive models of DNA replication. They cultured E. coli cells for several generations in a medium containing heavy nitrogen, 15 N. They then transferred the bacteria to a medium containing a lighter nitrogen isotope, 14 N. Samples were taken after the first round of DNA replication; another sample was taken after the second round of replication. They extracted DNA and centrifuged each sample. Explain (in...
1. Answer the following quick Cell Biology questions. (a.)DNA replication is ___________________. a. conservative. b. dispersive c. semiconservative. d. irregular. e. none of the above (b.) Which of the following proteins is observed exclusively in association with eukaryotic DNA replication? a. DNA polymerase I b. DNA gyrase c. single-strand binding proteins d. DNA ligase e. telomerase (c.) Which of the following events is characteristic of DNA replication in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes (nuclear DNA)? a. DNA synthesis 5'...
The initial proposal for DNA replication is either conservative or semiconservative (not liberal). In the "most beautiful experiment in biology", Meselson and Stahl proved it is one not the other. This is a seminal discovery that solidified the mechanism of DNA replication and transfer of genetic material. A) briefly describe the experiment and how the conclusion was reached; (2 points) B) What would the experimental result be if DNA replication is conservative? Describe for two rounds of replication starting with...
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?

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.
The semiconservative model for DNA replication is characterized by A. Two parental strands separate and serve as a template B. "New made, complimentary DNA strands are formed in each daughter cell." C. After two rounds of replication, all daughter cells will have some DNA components from the original parent cell. D. A & B E. A, B, & C
5. What is the semiconservative model of replication? 6. Distinguish between the leading and the lagging strands during DNA replication.
DI Question 8 1 pts According to the conservative model of DNA replication, after 2 rounds of replication there should be一一100% original DNA,--half old/half new DNA and -100% new DNA. O 0, 4,0 O 1,0, 1 O 1,0, 3 O 1, 2, 1 O o, 2, 2 Next 4 Previous
