Suppose that you performed a version of the Hershey and Chase experiment, this time using 32P-labeled viruses that

insert their double stranded DNA into the DNA of the cells that they infect. The viral DNA is then treated as part of the cell's own DNA and is replicated during DNA replication and passed onto daughter cells when the cell divides. You infect a population of cells with the 32P-labeled viruses, and then let the infected cells go through two generations of cell divisions. If you then examine the cells, you should find 32P-labeled DNA in ____ of the cells.

a. none b. about 1/4 c. about 1/2 d. about 3/4 e. all
