Taylor conducted the experiment to prove semiconservative mode of chromosomereplication on`:`

A

Vinca rosea

B

Vicia faba

C

Drosophila melanogaster

D

E. coil

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The use of radioactive thymidine to delect the semiconservative mode of replication of newly synthesised DNA in the chromosomes was performed on Vicia faba by Taylor and colleagues in 1958 . This experiment proved that the DNA in chromosomes replicates semiconservatively . Hence, the option (b) is correct.
