Dideoxynucleotides are chain-elongating inhibitors of DNA polymerase, used in the Sanger method for DNA sequencing. They are also known as 2',3' dideoxynucleotides, and abbreviated as ddNTPs (ddGTP, ddATP, ddTTP and ddCTP).

Dideoxynucleotides are useful in the sequencing of DNA in combination with electrophoresis. The purpose of the deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) is to supply the “bricks.” Since the idea behind PCR is to synthesize a virtually unlimited amount of a specific stretch of double-stranded DNA, the individual DNA bases must be supplied to the polymerase enzyme.

Dandelions can produce seeds by both asexual and sexual
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

only appear in veg plants

Explanation:

Unlike other forms of asexual reproduction in plants such as vegetative plant propagation via cuttings, apomixis is asexual reproduction via seeds. In the case of most dandelions (i.e., Taraxacum officinale), the embryo in the seed forms without meiosis, thus the offsping are genetically identical to the parent.
