A molecule of composition is replicated in a solution containing unlabeled (not radioactive) GTP, CTP, and TTP plus adenine nucleoside triphosphate with all its phosphorus atoms in the form of the radioactive isotope 32P. Will both daughter molecules be radioactive

Answer:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would only be radioactive if the DNA molecule that employed the poly-T rand as templates. Its other molecule of the daughter would not have been radioactive as it did not need dATP for its replication. While each strand of the second molecule includes t, simultaneous reproduction dATP from both daughter molecules is needed so that each of those is radioactive.
