I 2 0 6
II0 6 2
III2 4 2
IV2 2 4
Heavy DNA (15NH4 labeled) is transferred to 14NH4Cl medium and allowed to undergo replication by semi conservative method for three generations. After the completion of replication, the data is given in the table.

Solution

The correct option is B ll, lV
When one Heavy DNAs is transferred to Light DNAs medium than in the First generation, 2 Hybrid Heavy DNAs are formed, In the second generation again 2 hybrid DNA formed.
Similarly, When two heavy DNAs is transferred to Light DNAs medium then 4 hybrid DNA formed in each generation.
So, the correct hybrid DNAs in IVth experiment only.
