I suppose there might be something wrong with the depiction of dispersive mode. It is, at present, shown that in dispersive mode of replication each strand of a DNA molecule has been paired with that of the same property (e.g., a newly synthesized fragment paired with again a newly synthesized fragment, i.e., thin red with thin red, and red with red). However, M. Delbrück had indicated that each strand in itself has alternating patterns of original and new nucleotides.[1].
- Therefore, I would suggest a correction of each duplex of dispersive mode accordingly, in which every strand has patterns of red and thin red following each other and paired reciprocally with the opposite pattern, i.e., thin red with red and vice versa.
Although it may not be of much importance, since it still gains the insight to understanding the Meselson-Stahl experiment, I'm afraid it is not the actual representation of dispersive model proposed by Delbrück.
Thank you for such a useful schema of all three hypotheses of DNA replication.
