    If replication happens once, then it will create two daughter cells. Both cells will contain a DNA which is radioactive. This happens because prokaryotes like E. coli exhibits semiconservative replication, wherein each daughter cell receives one template strand from the original molecule, in this case, it's made up of the radioactive cytosine.
