Biology related DNA problem

I tried to solve it several times but hard for me to solve it.
anyone can help me?
the answer is B)2.

hi!

I’ve never seen a question like this and couldn’t understand it at first but I did some research and i’m not sure but I think the answer might be 100 and not 2?

Because from what I can understand if the DNA of the bacteriophage has a 32P label, then the new phage particles produced will also gain this label because during replication the 32P DNA will act as a template, meaning every new phage particle will have the 32P DNA label.

I’m really not sure though! this is just my interpretation because I have no idea how the answer would be 2 here.

yes that’s true, sometimes the translation really interferes with the question!
