Semi-conservative
The term proposed by Delbrück and Stent (1957) to describe the method of replication of DNA postulated by Watson and Crick (1953) in which the molecule divides longitudinally, ...
DNA Replication (Semi-Conservative Replication)
Transcription: DNA to mRNA
Translation: mRNA to Protein via tRNA ...
Nucleotide triphosphates (in the forms ATP, GTP, CTP and TTP) are assembled according to the semi-conservative model. Other details of DNA replication are consistent with what we know for prokaryotes.
the replication of a chromosome is semi-conservative (just as is the replication of a single DNA molecule).
synthesis (S), in which the cell duplicates its DNA (via semi-conservative replication).
This is called "semi-conservative" replication since one of the parent strands is "conserved" in the new DNA molecule.
The bacteria were then transferred to a medium with light (Nitrogen-14) medium. Watson and Crick had predicted that DNA replication was semi-conservative.
