Question

Which experimental material was used by Taylor and colleagues to prove that DNA in chromosomes replicates semiconservatively?

Accepted Answer

According to the text, very similar experiments involving the use of radioactive thymidine to detect the distribution of newly synthesised DNA in chromosomes were performed on *Vicia faba* (faba beans) by Taylor and colleagues in 1958. These experiments proved that DNA in chromosomes also replicates semiconservatively .
