A parent DNA molecule with both strands labeled with light nitrogen (14N^{14}\text{N}14N) is transferred to a growth medium containing only heavy nitrogen (15N^{15}\text{N}15N) and allowed to undergo four rounds of replication.
Which of the following statements correctly predict the results if DNA replication is semiconservative?
- After three rounds of replication, 75% of the double-stranded DNA molecules are of heavy density (15N/15N^{15}\text{N}/^{15}\text{N}15N/15N).
- After four rounds of replication, the ratio of hybrid-density (14N/15N^{14}\text{N}/^{15}\text{N}14N/15N) to heavy-density (15N/15N^{15}\text{N}/^{15}\text{N}15N/15N) DNA molecules is 1:81:81:8.
- After three rounds of replication, 12.5% of the individual polynucleotide strands in the population contain 14N^{14}\text{N}14N.
