<Tab/>-Then they transferred the bacteria to a medium containing a lighter more common isotope of nitrogen
<Tab/><Tab/>-Any new DNA that the bacteria synthesized would be lighter than the other DNA made in the 15N medium
<Tab/>-Results of centrifuging the bacterial DNA eliminated other two models for DNA replication and proved Semiconservative model
