Figure 11.4b shows an autoradiograph of a replicating bacterial chromosome. If you analyzed many replicating chromosomes, what types of information could you learn about the mechanism of DNA replication
FIGURE 11.4 The process of bacterial chromosome replication. (b) A replicating E. coli chromosome visualized by autoradiography and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This chromosome was radiolabeled by growing bacterial cells in media containing radiolabeled deoxythymidine. The diagram at the right shows the locations of the two replication forks. The chromosome is about one-third replicated. New strands are shown in blue.
