Ten E. coli cells with 15N-dsDNA are incubated in medium containing 14N nucleotide. After 60 minutes, how many E. coli cells will have DNA totally free from 15N?

  1. 20 cells
  2. 40 cells
  3. 60 cells
  4. 80 cells

Answer

(3) 60 cells

Solution

As per NCERT (Meselson and Stahl's experiment), E. coli divides in 20 minutes and DNA replicates semiconservatively.

Number of generations in 60 minutes = 6020 = 3

Total cells after 3 generations = 10 23 = 80

Each original 15N-DNA has two heavy strands; each heavy strand stays in one daughter DNA in every generation.

Cells with hybrid 15N/14N DNA = 10 2 = 20

Cells with DNA totally free from 15N = 80 - 20 = 60
