2.7.S2 Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA. At the start of a Meselson and Stahl experiment (generation 0) a single band of DNA with a density of 1.730 g cm-3 was found. After 4 generations two bands were found, but the main band had a density of 1.700 g cm-3. Explain why the density of the main band changed over four generations. (2) N15 isotope has a greater mass than N14 isotope due to the extra neutron Generation 0 contained DNA with exclusively N15 isotopes (giving it a greater density) With each generation the proportion N14 isotope (from free nucleotides) increases as the mass of DNA doubles After four generations most strands contain only N14 isotope – the dominant band at a density of 1.700 g cm-3. N15 isotope remains, but is combined in strands with N14 isotope – a second band at a density between 1.730 and 1.700 g cm-3.

Estimate the density of the band. (1) 2.7.S2 Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA. At the start of a Meselson and Stahl experiment (generation 0) a single band of DNA with a density of 1.730 g cm-3 was found. After 4 generations two bands were found, but the main band had a density of 1.700 g cm-3. After one generation only one DNA band appeared, but the density had changed. Estimate the density of the band. (1) The band would contain equally amounts of N14 isotope and N15 isotope Density of an all N15 isotope band is 1.730 g cm-3. Density of an all N14 isotope band is 1.700 g cm-3. Density of an the mixed isotope band is the average of the two: = ( 1.730 g cm-3 + 1.700 g cm-3 ) / 2 = 1.715 g cm-3 Which (if any) mechanisms of DNA replication are falsified by this result? (1) conservative replication Explain why the identified mechanism(s) are falsified. (1) For conservative replication to be the case two bands should appear in all generations after generation 0

2.7.S2 Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA. At the start of a Meselson and Stahl experiment (generation 0) a single band of DNA with a density of 1.730 g cm-3 was found. After 4 generations two bands were found, but the main band had a density of 1.700 g cm-3. Describe the results after two generations. Identify which mechanisms are falsified as a consequence and explain why. (3) Results: 2 bands One band containing a mixture of N15 and N14 isotopes – semi-conservative replication preserves the DNA strands containing N15 isotopes, but combines them with N14 nucleotides during replication. One band containing all N14 isotopes - during replication from generation 1 to generation 2. The new strands consisting of of N14 isotopes are replicated using N14 nucleotides creating strands containing just N14 isotopes. Dispersive replication is falsified as this model would continue to produce a single band, containing proportionally less N15 isotope.

One band containing all N15 isotopes – no replication has occurred 2.7.S2 Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA.
