Describe the Meselon -Stahl experiment Include how they distinguished new from old DNA strands, what the centrifuge was for, and how it showed semi-conservative replication.
If DNA replication were dispersive instead of semi-conservative how many "bands" would Meselson and Stahl have expected to see in their experiment after 4 rounds of replication in "light" nucleotides?
How did the results prove the semiconservative model of DNA replication? Explain
