In detail explain the experiment that helped Hershey and Chase recognize DNA as a genetic material
Describe the Meselon -Stahl experiment Include how they distinguished new from old DNA strands, what the centrifuge was for, and how it showed semi-conservative replication.
Consider the experiment conducted by Meselson and Stahl in which they used 14N and 15N in cultures of E. coli and equilibrium density gradient centrifugation. Draw pictures to represent the bands produced by bacterial DNA in the centrifuge tube before the switch to medium containing 14N and after one, two, and three rounds of replication in that medium. Use separate sets of drawings to show the bands that would appear if replication were (a) semiconservative; (b) conservative; (c) dispersive.
