Question
You mutagenized bacteria and isolated two mutants that you suspected to be defective in DNA synthesis. You measured incorporation of radioactivity (Y-axis) for various times (X-axis) at two temperatures (30 °C shown as open circles and 40 °C shown as filled circles in both figures) for the two mutants of bacteria (left and right figures). The results are shown in the accompanying figure.

For the following statement, answer True or False.

You can conclude that you have isolated mutants defective in two separate steps of DNA synthesis.

(Here, there are two graphs shown in the figure.)

**Left Graph:**
- **Y-axis:** 3H-thymidine incorporated (cpm)
- **X-axis:** Time (min)
- **Data Points:**
  - Open circles represent data at 30 °C
  - Filled circles represent data at 40 °C
- **Observations:**
  - At 30 °C: A steady increase in radioactivity incorporation over time, peaking at around 20,000 cpm at 120 minutes.
  - At 40 °C: No significant increase in radioactivity incorporation (values remain low, around 0 cpm).

**Right Graph:**
- **Y-axis:** 3H-thymidine incorporated (cpm)
- **X-axis:** Time (min)
- **Data Points:**
  - Open circles represent data at 30 °C
  - Filled circles represent data at 40 °C
- **Observations:**
  - At 30 °C: A gradual increase in radioactivity incorporation over time, peaking near 1,000 cpm at 120 minutes.
  - At 40 °C: No significant increase in radioactivity incorporation (values remain low, around 0 cpm).

**Multiple Choice Question and Answer:**
- ***Statement:*** You can conclude that you have isolated mutants defective in two separate steps of DNA synthesis.
  - **Answer Options:** True / False
  - **Marked Answer:** False
