Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of adding dideoxynucleotides in Sanger's sequencing method?

  • To terminate DNA synthesis (correct)
  • To separate DNA fragments using electrophoresis
  • To label different fluorescent dyes
  • To initiate DNA synthesis

What is the difference between a gene and an allele?

  • A gene is a variant form of an allele
  • An allele is responsible for the synthesis of DNA strands
  • An allele is a variant form of a gene (correct)
  • A gene is responsible for eye color, while an allele is responsible for genetic mutations

What is the advantage of using DNA sequencing over other methods for mutation detection?
