The Sanger method of DNA sequencing uses a mixture of dNTPs and ddNTPs, which are missing oxygen atoms at both the 2' and 3' car

bons. What is the role of the ddNTPs?
A.

They stop replication because they are not able to bind to the growing DNA strand.


B.

They stop replication because the next nucleotide in the growing strand cannot bind to them.


C.

The role of the ddNTPs is to stop replication because the next nucleotide in the growing strand cannot bind to them. It is for that reason that ddNTPs are fundamental in Sanger sequencing.

<h3>Sanger sequencing</h3>

Sanger sequencing is a technique used to sequence and thus determine the nucleotide order of a DNA chain.

This methodology (Sanger sequencing) was designed by Frederick Sanger in 1977.

In Sanger sequencing, the ddNTPs are used to stop the synthesis of a DNA strand due to the lack of a free hydroxyl group (OH) which is required for the replication of DNA.

The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.

To what are greater body size and facial gracility documented in homo erectus likely related?
Vanyuwa [196]
Greater body size and facial gracility documented in Homo erectus are likely related to changes in tool technology and increasing access to meat and other proteins. Homo erectus walked just like a modern human, with traits like double arches and adducted big toe, they had a cranial capacity range from 650 cc to 1,200 cc.
