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.

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

About one in five American adults and teenagers have had a genital herpes infection—and most of them don't know it. People with genital herpes have at least twice the risk of becoming infected with HIV if exposed to it than those people who do not have genital herpes.

The Romans did not use numerals to indicate fractions but instead used words to indicate parts of a whole.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.
