In the Meselson Stahl experiment, E. coli was grown for many generations in a medium
"heavy" nitrogen^15 N. Once the bacterial DNA was uniformly labeled, the bacteria were
transferred to a medium containing the "light" nitrogen, ^14N. After ONE round of replication,
DNA was extracted and subjected to density gradient centrifugation in cesium chloride. Upon
inspection, there was only a single band of intermediate density DNA in the gradient. This
proved that DNA replication CANNOT be conservative dispersive semiconservative
conservative of dispersive continuous.
Solution
Answer is Dispersive replication.
Dispersive replication would result in double-stranded DNA with both strands having mixtures
of 15N and 14N DNA, either of which would have appeared as DNA of an intermediate density.
