Genetics Question --- please expalin thoroughly

Below you have the sequence of both strands of a particular DNA segment. 5' T T C A T A A A A C C T A 3' 3' A A G T A T T T T G G A T 5' So, let's say that you decided to artificially replicate this particular segment in the lab (this is totally a thing that scientists do; more on that in the next unit) in a solution containing radioactively labeled guanine nucleotides. Will both daughter strands be radioactive? Explain your choice. What if you replicated this segment in a solution containing radioactively labeled adenine nucleotides? Would both daughter strands be radioactive? Explain. How would the process of DNA replication be different if DNA pol III could synthesize DNA in both the 5' rightarrow 3' AND 3' rightarrow 5' directions? Briefly explain your answer. (

Explanation / Answer

(1)

One of the strands will be radiolabelled with guanine residues, since DNA strand synthesized will be complementary to the existing strand, radiolabelled G is added to C on the parent strand.
