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.

Why is it better to describe ion formation as a “transfer of electrons” rather than as “losing and gaining” electrons?
Nata [24]

Explanation:

This is because the atom that ’donate’ the electrons and the one that ‘accepts’ the electrons – to become ions – will share an electrostatic association and form an ionic bond. So in reality, the atoms are only transferring electrons between themselves  rather than “losing and gaining” electrons. When the ionic bonds are broken, such as in chemical reactions, the atoms go back to neutral (regain their electrons) and form new associations with other atoms to form new compounds.

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? Select the three correct statements.-Because membra
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

-Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.

-The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.

-The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.
