THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT IN BIOLOGY: Meselson & Stahl, The Semi-Conservative Replication of DNA

[@Skittlezs710]

Actually, everyone gives Watson and Crick all the credit for discoverying DNA Structure buuuuuutttt, Rosalind Franklin was the one to discover this, for she spent so much time using X-Rays in order to figure out the DNA structure, which caused her Cancer. While she was sick battling cancer, two other students researching DNA Structure in the same University( WATSON AND CRICK) sneaked into her Dorm room and stole all her notes AND Published them taking all credit and A Nobel Prize for it But Rosalind Franklin died of cancer before she could take back all recognition of her Research.

[@DanielLieu]

+Adlin Hernandez I like how you talked about Rosalind Franklin! She was actually a huge part in the discovery of DNA because of the X-Ray diffraction she was able to obtain. It was critical in understanding that DNA spiraled in a double helix. Unfortunately, due to the reputation of women in science, her work wasn't really respected and neither was herself as a scientist in general. Unfortunate that her death occurred before the Nobel Prize because I believe she would have made a huge impact in the stigma that women scientists aren't as great as men -- which even exists today as women get paid less :) Hopefully that can change!

[@rohanshetty5103]

is it true ..? i mean i never heard of it before !

[@DarwiiNs]

yea she basically told them everything they wrote about

[@teresataylor-whiteley823]

This is not strictly true. Yes Rosalind Franklin was an X-Ray Crystallographer at Kings College London were work was undertaken to determine the crystal structure of DNA (along with the scientist Maurice Wilkins) , the data of which Watson and Crick used to describe the structure of DNA in their publication 'The Double Helix'. However, Watson and Crick were working at a laboratory at Cambridge, not Kings College London and neither of them were students, they were all research scientists working in different laboratory groups. In 1956, three years after Watson and Crick had published their model, Franklin was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which exposure to x-rays has been suggested to be a possible factor in her illness although other members of her family had previously died of cancer.Nonetheless, Franklin's work was crucial to the development of Watson and Crick's model and she definitely should have received recognition.

[@afifaamjed2294]

AMAZING EXPLANATION!!! I finally understand this yayayaya :D one question though: what if the bacteria were allowed to replicate a third time in N-14?

[@charlieshin9868]

Afifa Amjed it would depend on which strand was getting replicated i think. So if it was the light strand it would just come out as 2 light strands. But if it was the hald half strand it would come up with 1 strand that is light and 1 strand that is half half

[@YourekaScience]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vedhasp]

Thanks for this. I come from engineering background, so this might be a naive question, but why do we care about 3 'types' of replication? I mean, isn't next generation essentially the same in structure?

[@YourekaScience]

sahdeV The question was how does DNA replicate? The three replication "types" were hypotheses about how replication can happen. Only one of them was true. It's important to understand exactly how replication happens in order to better understand how genetic information is spread and how disease genes can be transmitted. It has also opened up many doors for developing useful tools to manipulate DNA in the lab. I hope this makes sense! Cheers! Florie

[@vedhasp]

YourekaScience I see... So only one of the three models is true. But there was another youtube video I came across that said *most* of the replication is through semi-conservative mode of replication.... did NOT say it only *is* the true mechanism. Therefore the confusion... I have kind of heard that the sequences made with A,G,C and T make up our physical attributes including characteristic facial features, dictate our immunity etc. What video is the good point to learn about that from your series? I am interested in learning these from CS/pattern recognition point of view, I do not have much of chemistry/biology background, but I wouldn't mind learning a bit about it if its absolutely necessary to.

[@YourekaScience]

sahdeV DNA replication is always done in a semi-conservative manner. There is no other way DNA can be replicated. Regarding learning how genetics works, my videos apply these concepts to specific examples. You can see all of our genetics videos by clicking on "Genetics" here: yourekascience.org/videos/ I would say a few that you may be interested in are slightly older videos: "He’s Got His Father’s Eyes and His Mother’s Mutations" "Shedding Light on the DNA’s Dark Matter" or "Colon Cancer: Signed, Sealed, Resected"

[@ghhfhhhhh]

YourekaScience there is another type of replication called binary fission but only works for bacteria yes/no?

[@florie8723]

Xin yuan Binary Fission is a type of cell division. During binary fission, the DNA is replicated and it's replicated in a semi-conservative manner, as in the video. I hope this makes sense!

[@SBShuTingTeo]

Very useful to me,thank you!

[@manassingha5705]

Owing to the semi conservative method of replication, the hybrid DNA must've been produced when normal DNA was cultivated in 15N medium. I don't totally understand.

[@kebrongurara4417]

Very old comment but still, the cells were grown in 15N for many generations until almost all the DNA found in them was 15N, then medium was changed. So, all 14N DNA made after this point would have been new DNA.
