. In Figure 12.14, why do the nuclei resulting fromexperiment 2 contain different amounts of DNA?
Neema wants to determine whether or not the nucleus of a cell differs in the chemical compounds they contain or not from species to species. She is planning on working with the nucleus of a human and the nucleus of a mouse. She has removed all of the DNA from each nucleus, then has selected and isolated one DNA fragment from each species. What results can Neema expect if she takes the human DNA fragment and inserts it into the mouse nucleus and then inserts the mouse DNA fragment into the human nucleus? Use your knowledge of DNA replication to answer.
What results would you expect if the bacteriophage that Hershey and Chase used in their experiment had contained RNA instead of DNA?

- You have 2 solutions of DNA. Solution 1 contains single stranded viral DNA while Solution 2 has double stranded form of the same viral DNA. Both solutions contain 1 mg/ml of DNA.
