Imagine you are able to incorporate a heavy isotope into the atoms of both strands of double stranded DNA. When these strands are replicated, the daughter strands do not contain the label. After two generations of semi-conservative DNA replication, how many single strand pieces of DNA will contain that label, if you only consider the products the second generations? Hint...draw it out! O One set of paired labeled strands and 3 sets of paired non-labeled strands for 4 double-stranded pieces of DNA total Four sets of 1 labeled strand paired with 1 non-labeled strand for 4 double-stranded pieces of DNA total Two sets of paired labeled strands and 6 sets of paired non-labeled strands for 8 double-stranded pieces of DNA total Two sets of 1 labeled strand paired with 1 non-labeled strand, and 2 sets of paired non-labeled strands for 4 double-stranded pieces of DNA total
