I believe the answer is true
Answer:
The correct answer is option B.
Explanation:
On seeing the question, it is clear that it is based upon the concept of semi-conservative theory for the replication of DNA. It is mentioned that when the bacteria were grown on N-15, the mass was 55 fg. Now, after two generations, the DNA would comprise N-14 and the mass of them will be 5.4 fg.
The average mass would be = 5.4 + 5.5 / 2 = 10.9 / 2 = 5.45 fg. The mass of the bacteria isolated from the culture would possibly contain both the masses. That is, the mass of DNA with N-14 only would be 5.4 fg, and the mass of DNA with both N-15 and N-14 would be the average, that is, 5.45 fg.
