Vedclass · Answer

(A) The semi-conservative mode of $DNA$ replication was proposed by $James \ Watson$ and $Francis \ Crick$ in their $1953$ paper describing the structure of $DNA$. However, the experimental proof for this semi-conservative replication was provided by $Matthew \ Meselson$ and $Franklin \ Stahl$ in $1958$ using $E. \ coli$ and the heavy isotope of nitrogen $(^{15}N)$. Since the question asks who proposed the concept, $Watson$ and $Crick$ are the originators of the hypothesis.
