A. radioactive phosphate, 32P04

B. Olight nitrogen, 14NH4CI

C. only sulfur and no nitrogen

D. chemically modified nitrogenous bases

E. heavy nitrogen, 15NH4CI

F. None of the answer options are correct.

    The DNA can labeled with heavy nitrogen because DNA contains nitrogen bases inside the bases. The answer is E

    Explanation:

    Because DNA contains bases inside with phosphate and sugar. In the base part, there are many N molecules. When DNA is replicated, the newly synthesized bases labeled with heavy nitrogen and it will differ from the other strand.
