Semiconservative replication describes the mechanism of DNA replication in all known cells. DNA replication occurs on multiple origins of replication along the DNA template strands. As the DNA double helix is unwound by helicase, replication occurs separately on each template strand in antiparallel directions. This process is known as semi ...
This mechanism is conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and is known as semiconservative DNA replication. The process of semiconservative replication for the site of DNA replication is a fork-like DNA structure, the replication fork, where the DNA helix is open, or unwound, exposing unpaired DNA nucleotides for recognition and base pairing ...
After one replication, the DNA was found to have intermediate density. Since conservative replication would result in equal amounts of DNA of the higher and lower densities (but no DNA of an intermediate density), conservative replication was excluded. However, this result was consistent with both semiconservative and dispersive replication.
Replication of DNA always begins at an origin of replication. In yeast, the origins contain autonomously replicating sequences (ARS), distributed throughout the chromosome about 30 kb from each other. They allow replication of DNA wherever they are placed. Each one is 100-200 bp long, and the A element is one of the most conserved stretches.

The Princess of Wales’ hairdresser Richard Dalton backed up the sentiment that Diana hated Christmas at Sandringham, telling Kitty Kelley for her book The Royals, “The princess just hated ...
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says human-directed AI-controlled drones are the future of war. Schmidt's startup, White Stork, is developing drones for Ukraine to use in its war with Russia.
The Meselson-Stahl experiment was a landmark experiment in molecular biology that provided evidence for the semiconservative replication of DNA. Conducted in 1958 by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl, the experiment involved growing E. coli bacteria in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen (15 N) for several generations. This caused ...
