Summary Introduction

To review:

Meselson-Stahl experiment differentiating between three models of DNA replication.

What did the Watson–Crick model suggest about the replication of DNA?
How many bands of DNA would be expected in Meselson and Stahl’s experiment after two rounds of conservative replication?
Why were Meselson and Stahl unable to distinguish between the dispersive and the semiconservative models following only one round of DNA replication?
