Answer:

If radioactive deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) is added to a culture of rapidly growing bacterial cells, you will find the greatest concentration of radioactivity in the Nucleoid.

Explanation:

Deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP); is one of the four nucleoside triphosphates that are used in the in vivo synthesis of DNA. Unlike the other deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, thymidine triphosphate does not always contain the "deoxy" prefix in its name

Radioactivity; decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation
