In DNA sequencing by the Sanger method, O the template strand of the DNA is radioactive specific enzymes are used to cut the DNA into small pieces which are then separated by electrophoresis O dideoxy ATP (ddATP) is included in each of the four reaction mixtures before enzymatic synthesis of complementary strands the role of dideoxy CTP (ddCTP) is to occasionally terminate enzymatic synthesis of DNA where Gs occur in the template strands.

In DNA sequencing by the Sanger method,
the template strand of the DNA is radioactive
specific enzymes are used to cut the DNA into small pieces which are then separated by electrophoresis
dideoxy ATP (ddATP) is included in each of the four reaction mixtures before enzymatic synthesis of
complementary strands
the role of dideoxy CTP (ddCTP) is to occasionally terminate enzymatic synthesis of DNA where Gs occur in
the template strands.
