Ten E.coil cell with are incubated in medium containing
nucleotide. After 60 minutes, how many E,coil cells will have DNA totally free from
?
40 cells
60 cells
80 cells
20 cells
60 minutes is 3 cycles as 20 min in one cycle. Thus, it is 3 generations

In 3rd Generation, 6 cells will be free of N15. This is related to 1 E.coli. Q says 10 Ecoli hence it is 6 X 10 = 60 cells
