Questions and Answers

What is the main function of a ddNTP in DNA sequencing?

  • To increase the GC content of the target DNA strand
  • To terminate the DNA chain and mark its end (correct)
  • To facilitate the binding of primers to the template DNA
  • To provide a hydroxyl group for nucleotide addition
  • What is the main characteristic of the stationary phase in liquid chromatography?

  • It is used to separate molecules based on their size
  • It is heat-tolerant and most active around 70°C
  • It is polar and elutes slower (correct)
  • It is nonpolar and elutes faster
  • What is the primary purpose of the primer in PCR?

  • To prevent the formation of secondary structures in the template DNA
  • To facilitate the annealing of the primer to the target DNA region (correct)
  • To provide a binding site for the Taq polymerase
  • To increase the melting temperature of the template DNA
  • What is the purpose of the heating and cooling cycles in PCR?
