1FoundationMCQDNA structure and replication mechanism1 markPaper 1~2 min
In the Meselson–Stahl experiment, E. coli were grown in 15^{15}N medium, then transferred to 14^{14}N medium for exactly one generation. DNA was extracted analysed by density-gradient centrifugation, producing a single band at an intermediate density. Which mechanism of DNA replication is consistent with this result?

In the Meselson–Stahl experiment, E. coli were grown in 15^{15}N medium until all DNA was fully labelled, then transferred to 14^{14}N medium. After two rounds of replication, the DNA was centrifuged in a caesium chloride density gradient. Which result, and which replication model, are correctly paired?
