Consider DNA sequencing experiments using 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. Which of the following is not correct?
 a. 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are added to the replicating strand by DNA polymerase.
  b. There are four types of 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates used.
  c. The sequence of 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates in the replicated DNA yields the DNA structure.
  d. DNA replication ceases when a 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates is added to the replicating strand.

Question 2

Describe the difference between a 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate and 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate.

Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

A 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate is one in which the 2' OH group is missing from ribose. A 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate is one in which both 2' and 3' OH groups are missing from ribose. In DNA sequencing the significance of this removal is that DNA replication stops at this nucleotide since the 3' OH needed for the continued addition of nucleotides.

Did you know?

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.

Did you know?

Hyperthyroidism leads to an increased rate of metabolism and affects about 1% of women but only 0.1% of men. For most people, this increased metabolic rate causes the thyroid gland to become enlarged (known as a goiter).

Did you know?

A strange skin disease referred to as Morgellons has occurred in the southern United States and in California. Symptoms include slowly healing sores, joint pain, persistent fatigue, and a sensation of things crawling through the skin. Another symptom is strange-looking, threadlike extrusions coming out of the skin.

Did you know?

Human stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve small pieces of metal such as razor blades or staples.

Did you know?

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.
