Ques. 1AIPMT 2000

Method of DNA replication in which two strands of DNA separate and synthesize new strands

  1. Conservative
  2. Non conservative
  3. Dispersive
  4. Semiconservative

Answer

(4) Semiconservative

Solution

As per NCERT (Watson and Crick), the two strands of DNA separate and each acts as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand.

∴ Each daughter DNA has one parental (old) strand and one newly synthesised strand ⇒ semiconservative replication (proved by Meselson and Stahl, 1958).
