MCQ
Semi-conservative replication of DNA was first demonstrated in:
- ADrosophila melanogaster
- BEscherichia coli
- CStreptococcus pneumoniae
- DSalmonella typhimurium
✓
Answer
- Escherichia coli
Explanation:
The semi-conservative replication of DNA was first demonstrated in E. coli. DNA replication is the process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule.
This biological process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance.
DNA is made up of two strands and each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the production of the complementary strand, a process referred to as semi-conservative replication.
