Taylor conducted the experiments to prove semiconservative mode of chromosome replication on:

  1. A
    E. coli
  2. B
    Vinca rosea
  3. C
    Vicia faba
  4. D
    Drosophila melanogaster

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Taylor and colleagues used radioactive thymidine to detect distribution of newly synthesized DNA in chromosomes of Vicia faba (faba beans) to prove that DNA in chromosomes replicates semi-conservatively. (Messelson and Stahl used E. coli).
