You have devised a system that allows you to stain adenine bases with a visible purple dye. You place some yeast cells into a growth media containing the dye solution and allow the dye to become incorporated into both strands of the double helices. You then remove a single yeast cell from the dye during G1 phase and allow it to go through two rounds of cell division in a growth medium that contains no dye, but has all other necessary components needed for replication. All the cells are back in G1 phase at the end of this experiment. What percentage of DNA molecules will contain some purple dye?
