The template (antisense) strands of two complete (double-stranded) DNA molecules have the base sequences shown in the table below. Two replication experiments are done with each molecule: 1. In Experiment #1, samples of each DNA molecule are incubated with radioactive cytosine, along with appropriate replication enzymes, ATP, adenine, thymine, and cytosine. Experiment #1 is stopped when each DNA molecule has replicated once. 2. In Experiment #2, all the DNA molecules from #1 are purified, and then incubated with with a similar reaction mixture - except non-radioactive cytosine is used this time. Experiment #2 is stopped when each DNA molecule has replicated one more time. Predict the percentage of DNA in each sample that is radioactive after each experiment.

Question
The template (antisense) strands of two complete (double-stranded) DNA molecules have the base sequences shown in the table below. Two replication experiments are done with each DNA molecule:

1. In Experiment #1, samples of each DNA molecule are incubated with radioactive cytosine, along with appropriate replication enzymes. ATP, adenine, thymine, and guanine. 

2. Experiment #1 is stopped when each DNA molecule has replicated once.
   
Experiment #2 is stopped when each DNA molecule has replicated for one more time.

Predict the percentage of DNA in each sample that is radioactive after each experiment. Round your answers to the nearest percent.

**Table:**

| DNA Template Strand Sequence | % of DNA Radioactive After Experiment #1 | % of DNA Radioactive After Experiment #2 |
|------------------------------|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| 3'-GAA TGC C-5'              |                                        |                                        |
| 3'-ACC TTA-5'                |                                        |                                        |
