1) Why does the addition of dideoxynucleotides to the DNA sequencing reaction cause DNA synthesis to stop after the modified nuc

leotide is added?
A)Because once a modified nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA, there is no free 5'OH group to attach the next nucleotide being added.
B)Because once a modified nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA, there is no free 3'PO4-group to attach the next nucleotide being added.
C)Because once a modified nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA, there is no free 3'OH group to attach the next nucleotide being added.
D)Because once a modified nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA, there is no free 5'PO4-group to attach the next nucleotide being added.

In Sanger sequencing, once a modified nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA, there is no free 3'OH group to attach the next nucleotide being added. This phenomenon is useful to sequence a polynucleotide chain.

Dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) are nucleotide inhibitors of the DNA polymerase, it is for that reason that they are used in Sanger sequencing.

The ddNTPs are similar to natural deoxynucleotides used by cells during ADN replication; however, ddNTPs lack a hydroxyl (OH) group on the 3’ carbon of the deoxyribose.

In consequence, once a ddNTP is added, DNA synthesis cannot progress, thereby this phenomenon can be used to determine the order of nucleotides during the elongation of a polynucleotide DNA chain.

Some Calvin Cycle enzymes contain disulfide bonds that must be reduced through a mechanism involving thioredoxin in order for th
Ann [662]

Answer:

There is no regulatory protein that oxidizes these Calvin cycle enzymes; oxidation is spontaneous.

Explanation:

Four enzymes of the Calvin cycle are regulated by sunlight. These enzymes are namely Ribulose 5-phosphate kinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphatase, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

The inactive form of these enzymes has disulfide bonds between two Cys residues. In the presence of sunlight, the reduced thioredoxin that obtains electrons from PS-I via ferredoxin reduces the disulfide bonds between the Cys residues of these enzymes.

The reduction of the bonds brings about the confirmation changes to make the enzyme active.

At nightfall, these bonds are spontaneously re-oxidized and there is no reduced thioredoxin available to reduce them again. The spontaneous oxidation of the disulfide bonds of these enzymes at nightfall makes them inactive again.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Bipedal modifications include "stacking" the bulk of the body weight on a small region near the center of gravity (i.e., the head is above the chest, which is above the pelvis, which is over the knees, which is above the feet).

Which Earth sphere does the following image most clearly represent?
NARA [144]
If the image contains life forms and living things, then it is the biosphere.
If the image contains frozen water bodies, such as the arctic tundra, it is the cryosphere.
If the image contains soil and other solid abiotic components of the Earth, then it is the geosphere.
If the image contains water in the liquid form, then it is the hydrosphere.
