Chapter 16, Problem 3IQ
Using different colors for heavy (parental) and light (new) strands of DNA, sketch the DNA molecules formed in two replication cycles after E. coli were moved from medium containing 15N to medium containing 14N. She the resulting density bands in the centrifuge tubes.

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.
A DNA strand was sequenced using the Sanger method
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTstRrDTmWI). The reaction
tube contained the DNA strand, fluorescently labelled
dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddATP – yellow, ddGTP – green,
ddCTP – blue, ddTTP - red), deoxynucleotide triphosphates, DNA
polymerase, or its Klenow fragment. Synthesis of DNA is allowed to
proceed, and the results are shown on the right:

(a) What is the sequence of the copy and the template strands?
(b) If the template strand were in the 5'-3' direction, what will be
the sequence of the DNA copy?
Nucleotide Length
Using 14N isotope medium for DNA replication instead of 15N, what would be observed ifDNA replication were conservative in one cycle of replication/in three cycles? How aboutdispersive replication in one cycle, in three cycles?
