[edit] Request for Expert Clarification

This article presently describes either the experiment or some other background information incompletely. For example, a "dispersive" model of replication where each new double helix consists of a fixed number (say 1000) of base pairs from the original cell, followed by an equal number of new base pairs, and so on would also be consistent with the experimental results. What led Meselson and Stahl (and others) to conclude that such was not the case?

Someone who knows the missing parts fill them in. --Stagyar 01:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
