### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to the Experiment**: Meselson and Stahl conducted an experiment to determine the mechanism of DNA replication. They used E. coli bacteria and cultured them in a medium containing ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) with a heavy nitrogen isotope, nitrogen-15 (N15). 2. **Culturing E. coli in N15 Medium**: The E. coli were allowed to grow in the N15 medium for several generations. During this time, the bacteria incorporated the heavy nitrogen into their DNA, resulting in DNA that was denser than normal (which contains nitrogen-14, N14). ...
