State
The conservative-replication model, ruled out by Meselson and Stahl, wrongly predicted one original helix stays intact while an entirely new copy forms.
Show
Conservative replication would have produced two separate density bands after one replication round; Meselson and Stahl found one intermediate band instead.
Watch for
An intermediate-density band is direct evidence against this model — it is exactly what semiconservative replication predicts.
