Taylor conducted the experiments to prove the semiconservative mode of chromosome replication on:

Options

  1. AVinca rosea
  2. BVicia faba
  3. CDrosophila melanogaster
  4. DE. coli

Correct answer

B. Vicia faba

Step-by-step solution

Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl (1958) performed following experiment using heavy nitrogen (15N) in E. coli to prove semi-conservative model of DNA replication. Taylor et. al proved semi-conservative mode of chromosome replication in eukaryotes using tritiated thymidine (3H - thymidine) in root of Vicia faba (Faba beans).
