Two mammalian cell lines with doubling times of 12 h and 36 h were cultured with radioactive thymidine for 8 h. The cells were further cultured without the radioactive thymidine for 72 h. Incorporated radioactivity was measured in equal number of cells in each culture, which revealed that
A:
Both the cell lines had the same amount of radioactivity
B:
The fast growing cells had more radioactivity
C:
The slow growing cells had more radioactivity
D:
Neither of the cells had any radioactivity
The answer is:
C
