A scientist uses radioactive nitrogen to label the nitrogenous bases of the DNA of a cell. Then the DNA is allowed to replicate, and the new strands take up non-radioactive bases. Do one, both, or neither of the daughter cells have radioactive DNA? Explain.

I think yes, because from what i knew. When the DNA replicate, it will be same as the original/mother DNA. so it will both have radioactive DNA.

Just think, if only one DNA have radioactive then it wont be dangerous, but it affect the replication DNA, then its different case and will be dangerous for the body. You must've heard that radioactive can be dangerous for the body.

Sorry if im wrong

Answer:

I would say one..

Explanation:

It says the new strands take u non-radioactive bases.. if he only used the radioactive to label one of them then I would say one..
