Figure 1: DNA bands representing a pulse and chase method.

Introduction:

The duplication of DNA takes place during the S phase of the cell cycle. If the cells are subjected to the medium containing radioactive thymidine during this phase, then the DNA extracted from them can be observed in the gel electrophoresis.
