A DNA molecule is placed in a test tube containing fluorescently tagged
a. only one DNA molecule would have two fluorescent strands.
b. both strands of each DNA molecule would be half-fluorescent.
c. each DNA molecule would have one fluorescent strand.
cl. both DNA molecules would be completely fluorescent.
Introduction:
DNA replication is a process of producing two identical copies of DNA from parental DNA. DNA replication is known as semicoservative, because each new copy will have one parental strand.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Each DNA molecule would have one florescent strand. This statement explains correctly that DNA replication is a semi conservative process. Therefore, option c. is correct
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
DNA replication is a semi conservative process in which new replicas of DNA will have one parental strand. So, in this DNA molecule one strand will be normal and other strand will be florescent.
Option c. is given as “each DNA molecule would have one florescent strand”.
As, “DNA replication is a semi conservative process so whenever a new replica is formed it will always have one parental strand, so in this DNA molecule one strand will be normal and other strand will be florescent”, is the right answer.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “only one DNA molecule would have two florescent strands”.
This is never possible in case of replication because if replication occurs then parental strand is shared within the replicas, so both florescent strands cannot stick together. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “both strands of each DNA molecule would be half florescent”.
This is the case of dispersive replication, but in case of DNA it only replicate through semicoservative way. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “both DNA molecules would be completely florescent”
This is the case of conservative replication, but in case of DNA it only replicate through semi-conservative way. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
DNA replicates through semi-conservative way in which new replica is formed and that new replica will always have one parental strand.

- Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes.
