Practice: semi-conservative DNA replication
A cell is grown in a solution containing radioactive nucleotides, so that its DNA is labeled with radioactivity. It is removed from the radioactive solution and grown in normal medium, so that any new DNA strands it makes will not be radioactive. In the normal medium, the cell replicates its DNA and divides. The two daughter cells also replicate their DNA and divide, producing a total of four cells. If a dotted line represents a radioactive DNA strand, which of
the following depicts the DNA of the four cells?
