Question 1

Which of the following would you find in a Sanger sequencing reaction but not in a polymerase chain reaction?
◦ DNA template
◦ DNA polymerase
◦ dNTPs
◦ ddNTPs
◦ DNA primer

Question 2

Why are leading and lagging strand primers removed rather than joined with Okazaki fragments?
◦ The primers do not hydrogen bond to the template strand correctly.
◦ They have to be removed for leading and lagging strand synthesis to begin.
◦ Primers are too short to efficiently bind to Okazaki fragments.
◦ They contain nucleotides with 2'OH groups, and are targeted for excision by DNA Polymerase.
◦ They lack the 3' OH that would permit them to be covalently linked to the Okazaki fragments.

The human body produces and destroys 15 million blood cells every second.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

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.

Did you know?

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).
