Title: What is the Hershey and Chase experiment? Post by: twinklebows on Apr 2, 2014 When a solution of cesium chloride (CsCl) is subjected to high-speed centrifugation, a stable density gradient is formed. Meselson and Stahl found that when cell contents were subjected to centrifugation with a CsCl solution, a band of DNA formed at the CsCl density that matched the density of the DNA. This technique is called density-gradient centrifugation.
The test tubes below show the results of density-gradient centrifugation of five different DNA samples. Title: Re: What is the Hershey and Chase experiment? Post by: padre on Apr 5, 2014 HI
What steps have you taken so far to tackle this? I have an inkling on what to do, but I want to hear from you first. |
