3832 E01-Homework week #7 . Below you have the sequence of both strands of a particular DNA segment 5' T T CATAAAA CCTA 3' 3' A A GTAT TTTG GAT 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. a) Will both daughter strands be radioactive? Explain your choice. f you replicated this segment in a solution containing radioactively labeled adenine b) What i nucleotides? Would both daughter strands be radioactive? Explain. 2. How would the process of DNA replication be different if DNA pol Ill could synthesize DNA in both the 5"> 3' AND 3' >5' directions? Briefly explain your answer. (

Explanation / Answer

a) No, both daughters will not be having radioactive strands because one daughter will have upper strand and another will have the lower strand. The daughter that has cytosine in their strands will have guanine in their strands that is radioactive.

B) Yes if the strands were replicated in the solution of adenine then both daughters will have radioactive strands because both the parental strands has thymine and because of that both will incorporate radioactive adenine in their strands.
