New cards
Semi-conservative replication
a double-stranded molecule of nucleic acid separates into two single strands each of which serves as a template for the formation of a complementary strand that together with the template forms a complete molecule.

New cards
Franklin Experiment
Investigated the structure of DNA by X-Ray diffraction.
3
New cards
Hershey and Chase Experiment
Provided evidence that DNA is genetic material.
4
New cards
Meselson and Stahl Experiment
Meselson and Stahl obtained evidence for the semi-conservative replication of DNA
5
New cards
Watson and Crick Experiment
Discovered double helix structure and proved that DNA structure suggested a mechanism for DNA replication.
6
New cards
Erwin Chargaff Experiment
Erwin Chargaff found that in DNA, the ratios of adenine (A) to thymine (T) and guanine (G) to cytosine (C) are equal.
