DNA Replication: 3 Possible Ways and Experiments (With Diagram)

The process by which a DNA molecule makes its identical copies is known as DNA replication. It takes place in S-phase of interphase. There are three possible ways of DNA replication. The three possible ways are: (1) Dispersive (2) Conservative and (3) Semi-conservative. It also discuss about the evidences for semi-conservative replication. There are three important experiments which support that [...]

Viral-Infecting Agent is DNA – An Experiment

Viral-infecting agent is DNA: An experiment is performed by Hershey and Chase on bacteriophage showing phenomenon of transduction. Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses. T2 is a bacteriophage which infects Escherichia coli, the bacterium occurs as commensal in human intestine. Escherichia coli can also be grown over culture medium. A.D. Hershey and Martha Chase (1952) grew two cultures of Escherichia coli. One [...]
