This experiment's results specifically used the word "subunit" to avoid contradicting Paul Doty’s work in salmon sperm. Initial attempts to incorporate 5-bromouracil failed during this experiment, which came eighteen months after Taylor, Woods, and Hughes did a similar study in fava beans using tritiated thymidine. This experiment used Jerome Vinograd's cesium chloride gradients for ultracentrifugation. In this so-called "most beautiful experiment in biology," two bands appeared after two generations, disproving Max Delbrück’s dispersive model. In this experiment, E. coli were grown for several generations on media containing nitrogen-15, before being transferred to nitrogen-14 media. For 10 points, name this experiment which showed that DNA replication is semi-conservative. ■END■
