A NASA probe returned samples of rocks from the surface of Mars.From these rocks,a prokaryotic organism was isolated and remained viable under conditions similar to those of Mars.The organisms are capable of dividing to replicate themselves.In order to determine whether the DNA replication of these organisms was semiconservative,an experiment using N15/N14 (similar to that of Meselson and Stahl)was performed.If the method of DNA replication were conservative,after one generation one would expect to see
