In Meselson and Stahl's experiments, heavy $DNA$ was distinguished from normal $DNA$ by centrifugation in

A

$CsOH \;gradient$

B

$14 \mathrm{NH} 4 \mathrm{Cl}$

C

$15 \mathrm{NH} 4 \mathrm{Cl}$

D

$CsCl\; gradient$

Solution

In Meselson and Stahl's experiments, heavy $DNA$ was distinguished from normal $DNA$ by centrifugation in $CsCl$ gradient. When $DNA$ is mixed with caesium chloride it will settle down at a particular height in centrifugation and heavier one higher up.
