State the hypothesis of semiconservative replication

Reference no: EM13171918

In a famous experiment, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl grew E. coli cells in a medium containing only the "heavy" isotope of nitrogen, 15N. These cells were then transferred to a medium with the "light" isotope of nitrogen, 14N. The results of the experiment supported the hypothesis of semiconservative replication, which was proposed by Watson and Crick.
