If a nucleotide lacking a hydroxyl group at the 3' end were added to a pcr reaction, what would be the outcome?

The correct answer is b. no additional nucleotides would be added to a growing strand containing that nucleotide.
<span>
Nucleotides without a 3’hydroxy group are called dideoxynucleotides (ddNTD). Dideoxynucleotides are inhibitors of DNA polymerase because after being added in PCR reaction no further nucleotides can be added as no phosphodiester bond can be created (usually 3' hydroxyl group of the previous nucleotide attaches to 5' phosphate of the current nucleotide).</span>

An aerotolerant anaerobe would be expected to grow _____ in a thioglycollate tube.

kodGreya [7K]

<h2>Aerotolerant anaerobe.</h2>

Explanation:

An Aerotolerant anaerobes adopts the process of fermentation to produce ATP.

Oxygen is not used by Aerotolerant anaerobes. It keep themselves safe from the oxygen molecules which are reactive.
Aerotolerant organisms do not require oxygen for their growth as energy is metabolised anaerobically. But can tolearte the presence of oxygen.
Aerotolerant anaerobe are expected to grow throughout the tube in a thioglycollate tube.
