Based on DNA's structure and function, why did Meselson and Stahl choose to grow E. coli in broths of nitrogen isotopes?
A. The bacteria's phosphate groups would be replaced by the
nitrogen.
OB. The nitrogen would be incorporated into deoxyribose.
C. The nitrogen would influence bonding between base pairs.
D. The nitrogen would be incorporated into the DNA
nucleotides

Ecoli has certain istopyes in where the molecules such as carbon dioxide re introduces the carbon molecules therfore ecoli has certain phosphate groups.
