1) In an important experiment with E. coli Meselson and Stahl
established that during DNA replication, each of the two strands that
make up the double helix were used as a template for the new strands
of DNA The scientists described the replication method as semi-
conservative. What does this indicate?
ON
cases
The two original DNA strands the parental strands.
woulde-be used as templates to synthesize new
strands
After base pairing both copies of the new DNA
B) molecules would be a mix of alternating segments of
old and new DNA
Base pairing would result in two double-stranded
DNA molecules that would include one parental or
Old strand and one daughter on new strand
The two ne synthesized strands, the daughter
D strands would besepair with each other one to form
Snea-old strand and on a new strand
