The Universality of Semiconservative Replication

The Watson-Crick model for DNA replication is called semiconservative because the daughter duplexes arising from replication each contain one old (conserved) strand and one new strand. [Pg.651]

Subsequent studies initiated by others have shown that the DNA in all chromosomes regardless of their size replicate in this semiconservative fashion. Thus, the semiconservative mode of DNA replication is well established and essentially universal. The genetic information implanted in [Pg.651]
