Suppose the experiment of Meselson and Stahl was performed on a sample of 8 cells, each containing one copy of its circular double-stranded DNA genome, and that had been growing on normal 14N medium. You then grew the cells for 3 generations in medium containing 15N. The outcome would be A) 8 cells with single-stranded DNA molecules with 14N, and 24 cells with single-stranded DNA molecules with 15N. B) 16 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with equal amounts of 14N and 15N, and 48 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with 15N. C) 8 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with equal amounts of 14N and 15N, and 24 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with 15N. D) 8 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with equal amounts of 14N and 15N, and 32 cells with double-stranded DNA molecules with 15N. E) 65 cells with single-stranded DNA molecules with 15N.
