A group of students decide to repeat the hershey and chase experiment with modifications. they decide to radioactively label the nitrogen in the dna, instead of the phosphate. they reasoned that each nucleotide contains more nitrogen than phosphate, so labeling the nitrogen will provide a stronger signal than labeling the phosphate. what is the flaw in this experimental design?
