ddNTPs have a hydrogen at 3' position which terminates synthesis of DNA.

ddNTPs is the abbreviated form for dideoxynucleotides triphosphates. They are known as chain elongating inhibitors. The Sanger method is a sequencing technique that is used to increase the number of DNA copies. The DNA synthesis requires magnesium ions, a single-stranded DNA template, oligonucleotide primer, and nucleotide precursors like dATP, dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP. Also, DNA polymerase is required which is an essential component for DNA synthesis.

The Sanger sequencing method is a significant process evident by its use in Human Genome Project which helped scientists in sequencing the human genome. The small sequenced fragments are joined together to form large regions subsequently forming chromosomes.

Ksivusya [100]

The organ system interacts with each other to maintain the normal functioning of the body. The composition of blood changes due to this interaction. The change is the blood going out from the lungs is deoxygenated and the one coming to the lungs is oxygenated.

<h3>What is the interaction of the respiratory and circulatory systems?</h3>

The respiratory system involves inhalation of oxygen and using this to release energy and exhalation of carbon dioxide.

The circulatory system is comprised of the heart and blood vessels. The heart pumps blood to different body organs through these blood vessels.

The transfer of oxygen is done with the help of blood. During this transfer, the composition of blood changes from being oxygenated means having oxygen to deoxygenated means having carbon dioxide.

Thus, in this way, the interaction changes the composition of blood.
