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.

What are the reproductive structures and main characteristic of angiosperms?
castortr0y [4]

Answer: The answer is b.

Explanation: The flowers are one of the most differentiating features of angiosperms. They are the reproductive structures of angiosperms. The flower has a thalamus that is a short axis and four whorls of sporophylls arranged on the thalamus. The four whorls of floral leaves include calyx, corolla, androecium and gymnocium.

If a point mutation occurs in a body cell so that the original sequence of mRNA of CGA changes to AGA, what will be the likely c
Talja [164]

Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)

Which describes the four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis? identical haploid cells genetically different diploid ce
algol13

Answer:In many ways, meiosis is a lot like mitosis. The cell goes through similar stages and uses similar strategies to organize and separate chromosomes. In meiosis, however, the cell has a more complex task. It still needs to separate sister chromatids (the two halves of a duplicated chromosome), as in mitosis. But it must also separate homologous chromosomes, the similar but nonidentical chromosome pairs an organism receives from its two parents.

Explanation:Mitosis(Opens in a new window)(Opens in a new window) is used for almost all of your body’s cell division needs. It adds new cells during development and replaces old and worn-out cells throughout your life. The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers, with not a single chromosome more or less.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes—sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell.

To put that another way, meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell—one with two sets of chromosomes—to haploid cells—ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs. When a sperm and an egg join in fertilization, the two haploid sets of chromosomes form a complete diploid set: a new genome.
