The three different DNA replication models suggested by scientists include: Conservative model of DNA: According to this model the parental DNA will be conserved in the next generation. For example, a cell containing a double stranded parental DNA (represented by black color) will divide by mitosis into two daughter cells. Now, one daughter cell will […]

Introduction Structure of DNA The structure of DNA was first revealed through the extraction of nuclein by Meischer. Later, it was identified as nucleic acid, a polymer of nucleotides. These nucleotides are composed of phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous bases. Watson and Crick’s model of DNA in 1953 demonstrated its double-helix form, a critical structure for
