Below Is a Double Stranded DNA Composed of One Strand

Question 78

Multiple Choice

Below is a double stranded DNA composed of one strand containing 15N atoms and the other strand containing 14N atoms.If the cell which contains this DNA is grown for one generation (replication) on 15N medium and then transferred to 14N media for a second generation,what would the resulting double stranded DNA molecules look like? Below is a double stranded DNA composed of one strand containing <sup>15</sup>N atoms and the other strand containing <sup>14</sup>N atoms.If the cell which contains this DNA is grown for one generation (replication) on <sup>15</sup>N medium and then transferred to <sup>14</sup>N media for a second generation,what would the resulting double stranded DNA molecules look like?   A) Four molecules;each containing one <sup>14</sup>N strand and one <sup>15</sup>N strand. B) Two molecules;one with a <sup>15</sup>N and a <sup>14</sup>N strand,the other with two <sup>14</sup>N strands. C) Four molecules;three containing one <sup>14</sup>N strand and one <sup>15</sup>N strand and one molecule with two <sup>14</sup>N strands. D) Four molecules;one with two <sup>15</sup>N strands,two molecules with two <sup>14</sup>N strands,and one molecule with one <sup>14</sup>N and one <sup>15</sup>N strands.
