  • what were the three theories
    conservative
    semi-conservative
    dispersive
  • how was the experiment set up
    e.coli divides every 20 minutes
    put N-14 in agar for set time then introduce N-15
    centrifuge after 20 minutes (one division)
  • what did semi conservative replication predict would happen
    one line on the centrifuge
  • what did conservative predict would happen
    two lines
    one n-15 one n-14
  • what did dispersive predict would happen
    one line
  • how did they tell with it was dispersive or semi-conservative
    do a second centrifuge
  • what did dispersive predict would happensecond time
    one line
    it is now split 75% heavy and 25% light but still equally distributed
  • what did semi predict would happen second time
    two lines
    leading strand could be old or new
