It is common to use ddNTPs (dideoxynucleoside triphosphates) for sequencing DNA because, when incorporated into a growing DNA po

lymer, the ddNTP acts as a chain terminator, allowing the researcher an opportunity to determine the last-added base to a given chain. From your knowledge of nucleotide structure and DNA synthesis, what is the most likely attribute of ddNTPs for DNA sequencing?
A. The ddNTPs lack a 5′ carbon.

B. The ddNTPs lack a 3′ hydroxyl group.

C. The ddNTPs lack a nitrogenous base.

D. The ddNTPs lack the sugar component.

Answer:

B. The ddNTPs lack a 3′ hydroxyl group.

Explanation:

Dideoxynucleotides is a family of inhibitors of the DNA polymerase, its official name is 2',3' dideoxynucleotides but they are commonly called ddNTPs. One of the main characteristics of this compound is the absence of the 3'-hydroxyl group in the deoxyribose, due to the absence of this group, it is impossible to form a phosphodiester bond between nucleotides and the DNA synthesis is stopped.

Match these items. 1. taxonomic category within a kingdom fermentation 2. plant that lives on decaying organic matter host 3. br
Sonja [21]

1. taxonomic category within a kingdom-phylum

This taxonomic category is at level below Kingdom and above Class (e.g Arthropoda, Chordata, Mollusca)

2. plant that lives on decaying organic matter-saprophyte  

Saprotrophic plants or saprophytes use saprotrophic nutrition meaning that have extracellular digestion to process death organic matter.

3. break down of complex molecules into simpler ones- fermentation  

Fermentation is a metabolic process that breaks down organic substrates in order to obtain energy. These processes are performed without the presence of oxygen (anaerobic processes).

4. multi-nucleated thread-like structures of fungi hyphae

This is one of the basic structural unit of fungi-long, filamentous structure that can form network-micelium. It is used for vegetative reproduction.

5. mycelia responsible for obtaining food from non-living organic material rhizoids

Rhizodis are unicellular or multicellular stuctures (branching hyphae) found in fungi that are similar to root hairs of plants. These structures are involved in saprotrophic nutrition of fungi.

6. asexual reproduction of yeast budding  

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from some generative anatomical part of the parent organism.

7. a group of hyphae mycelia

Mycelum is fungi’s vegetative body that consists of network of branching hyphae.

8. reproductive cells which can tolerate bad conditions spores

Spores are reproductive structure, part of the fungi life cycle, that can be involved in sexual or asexual reproduction, vary in structure that are formed in. Spores are usually haploid and unicellular.

9. structures which house the reproductive formation fruiting

Fruit is a structure in flowering plants that contains seed and it is responsible for seed dispersal and nutrition.

10. mutually positive relationship between two species symbiosis  

Symbiosis is biological interaction between two species that can be mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic. More specifically, symbiosis refers to positive interaction for both members of it.

11. plant or animal which supports a parasite host

Parasitic relationship between species is the one in which organism (the parasite), lives on or in another organism (host).This relationship is positive for parasite but negative for the host.
