What generally causes thymine dimers to form in a strand of DNA, and why are thymine dimmers a problem? Ultraviolet light can cause thymine dimers, potentially creating mutation that could lead to cancer; Cancer often causes thymine dimers, which prevent nucleotide excision reaper enzymes from working; Exposure to sunlight can create thymine dimers, which prevents the cell from initiating DNA replication; Smoking often makes thymine dimers form, increasing the chance for mutations that lead to lung cancer;

Meseison and Stahl experiment

What is the experiment with E. coli grown first in heavy nitrogen (15N) then in 14N. DNA grown in 15N (red band) is heavier than DNA grown in 14N (orange band), and sediments to a lower level in cesium chloride solution in an ultracentrifuge. When DNA grown in 15N is switched to media containing 14N, after one round of cell division the DNA sediments halfway between the 15N and 14N levels, indicating that it now contains fifty percent 14N. In subsequent cell divisions, an increasing amount of DNA contains 14N only. This data supports the semi-conservative replication model?
