Question

atthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl performed an experiment using heavy isotopes and bacteria to determine which model DNA follows to replicate. Their results are evidence supporting which DNA replication model below?

  a.

The parent DNA molecule is broken into its singular nucleotides from which new nucleotides are copied and then all nucleotides to come back together as one larger DNA molecule.

  b.

The parent DNA strands re-associate after acting as replication templates, forming one molecule of parental DNA and one molecule of daughter DNA.

  c.

The parent DNA is mixed into each of the daughter strands such that both daughter molecules contain a mix of parental and new DNA in each complementary strand.

  d.

The parent DNA strands separate and act as templates for new strands to build onto, such that each resulting molecule is a hybrid of 1 parental strand and 1 daughter strand.
