Experiment 70 | THE DNA REPLICATION EXPERIMENT (MESELSON–STAHL)

🧪 Science Experiments That Changed the World

Figure 1, view larger image

Meselson and Stahl showed how DNA copies itself


They proved that DNA replication is semi-conservative each new strand contains one old and one new strand.


This explained how genetic information is passed accurately.

Example: like copying a page where half is original and half is newly written.


• Showed how DNA replicates

• Semi-conservative process

• Key to genetics

• Explained inheritance mechanism
