Review Figure 11.4 and Figure 11.5. Why was it important that Meselson and Stahl continue their experiment to at least two rounds of replication after isotopic labeling of the starting DNA with $^{15} \mathrm{N}$, instead of stopping the experiment after only one round of replication?
In the project described in Investigating Life 28.1 , the researchers sequenced bacterial DNA in hardened plaque on the teeth of decaying skeletons. They also analyzed bacterial DNA from inside the teeth and from soil and water near the lab where the work was carried out. Why were these additional DNA samples important in interpreting the results?
