Meselson & Stahl grew E. coli cells in a dense N15 nitrogen medium, then transferred to a lighter N14 nitrogen medium. Describe the observations of their experiment (until the third generation) and use it to explain the mechanism of DNA replication.

Observations: - After each generation, the amount of DNA will be doubled during the S phase of interphase- At the start, all DNA will be labelled N 15 - In the generation 1, all DNA will be labelled N 14 N 1...
