The semi-conservative nature of DNA rep...

The semi-conservative nature of DNA replication was established by Meselson and Stahl in their classic experiment with bacteria. They grew bacteria in `N^(15)-NH_(4)CI` containing medium with `N_(14)` - containing compounds and allowed to grow for three generation . CsCI density gradient centrifugation of isolated DNA established the nature of semiconservation DNA replication. The pictorial representation below shows the positon of differentially labeled DNA in CsCI density gradient.
