Question
During later stages of pregnancy, the mammary glands (glands that produce milk) develop. During ts
development cellular division and synthesis of some proteins take place. Experiments are done to identie
the origin of the mechanism that leads to the synthesis of these proteins.
Cells of the mammary glands are divided into two groups. The first group is cultured in the presence .
radioactive uracil (culture 1) and the second group is cultured in the presence radioactive amino acid leucins
(culture 2). We extract cells from culture media 1 and 2 at regular time interval and then we measure
radioactivity in these cells. The following document represents the obtained results.
1. Explain the choice of the two radioactive molecules (uracil and
leucine).
