Understanding:
• The replication of DNA is semi-conservative and depends on complementary base pairing
DNA replication is a semi-conservative process, because when a new double-stranded DNA molecule is formed:
- One strand will be from the
original template moleculeOne strand will be newly synthesised
Semi-Conservative DNA Molecule
This occurs because each nitrogenous base can only pair with its complementary partner
- Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T)Cytosine
(C) pairs with guanine (G)
Consequently, when DNA is replicated by the combined action of helicase and DNA polymerase:
- Each new strand formed will be identical to the original strand separated from the templateThe two semi-conservative molecules formed will have an identical base sequence to the original molecule
Conservation of Sequence by Complementary Base Pairing
Skill:
• Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA
The theory that DNA replication was semi-conservative was confirmed by the Meselson-Stahl experiment in 1958
Prior to this experiment, three hypotheses had been proposed for the method of replication of DNA:
- Conservative Model – An entirely new molecule is synthesised from a DNA template (which remains unaltered)Semi-Conservative Model – Each new molecule consists of one newly
synthesised strand and one template strandDispersive Model – New molecules are made of segments of new and old DNA
Three Proposed Models of DNA Replication
Meselson and Stahl were able to experimentally test the validity of these three models using radioactive isotopes of nitrogen
- Nitrogen is a key component of DNA and can exist as a heavier 15N or a lighter 14N
DNA molecules were prepared using the heavier 15N and then induced to replicate in the presence of the lighter 14N
- DNA samples were then separated via centrifugation to determine the composition of DNA in the replicated molecules
The results after two divisions supported the semi-conservative model of DNA replication
- After one division, DNA molecules were found to contain a mix of 15N and 14N, disproving the conservative modelAfter two divisions, some molecules of DNA were found to consist solely of 14N, disproving the dispersive model
Results of the Meselson-Stahl Experiment
The first step in DNA replication is to ‘unzip’ the double helix structure of the DNA molecule.This is carried out by an
enzyme called helicase which breaks the
hydrogen bonds holding the
complementary
bases of DNA together (A with T, C with G).The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called a replication
‘fork’. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA.One of the strands is oriented in the 3’ to 5’ direction (towards the replication fork), this is the
leading strand. The other strand is oriented in the 5’ to 3’ direction (away from the replication fork), this is the
lagging strand. As a result of their different orientations, the two strands are replicated differently:

What do you call the mode of DNA replication?
Modes of DNA Replication. Semi-Conservative, Conservative, & Dispersive models of DNA replication. In the semi-conservative model, the two parental strands separate and each makes a copy of itself. After one round of replication, the two daughter molecules each comprises one old and one new strand.What is conservative mode of replication?
According to the conservative replication model, the entire original DNA double helix serves as a template for a new double helix, such that each round of cell division produces one daughter cell with a completely new DNA double helix and another daughter cell with a completely intact old (or original) DNA double helix ...What is Semiconservative mode of replication?
Semi-conservative mode of replication produces two copies, each containing one original strand and one new strand. On the contrary, conservative replication produces two new strands and would leave two original template DNA strands in a double helix.What is it called when a DNA strand is copied?
DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
