you add radioactive thymine to a culture of eukaryotic cells that are all currently in S phase.  Predict the results from cells that divide twice after this addition. PLEASE ONLY PICK ONE ANSWER: Radioactive thymine would pair with nonradioactive guanine. All four bases of the DNA would be radioactive. DNA in all daughter cells would be radioactive. None of the daughter cells would be radioactive. One of the daughter cells, but not the other three, would have radioactive DNA.
