If cells are grown in a medium containing radioactive 32P-labeled phosphate, then NUCLEIC ACIDS will be labeled (Option B).

  • 32P is a radioactive isotope of the phosphorus (P) atom, which is generally used to label nucleic acids.

  • This isotope was used by Hershey and Chase (1952) to show that DNA is the hereditary material of bacteriophage T2.

  • In conclusion, if cells are grown in a medium containing radioactive 32P-labeled phosphate, then NUCLEIC ACIDS will be labeled (Option B is correct).
