In DNA technology, the term vector can refer to(A) the enzyme that cuts DNA into restrictionfragments.(B) the sticky end of a DNA fragment.(C) a SNP marker.(D) a plasmid used to transfer DNA into a living cell.
The dideoxynucleosides ddATP, ddTTP, ddGTP, and ddCTP were important in DNA sequencing because they (a) cause premature termination of a growing DNA strand (b) are used as primers (c) cause the DNA fragments that contain them to migrate more slowly through a sequencing gel (d) are notaffected by high temperatures (e) have more energy than deoxynucleotides
the most efficient general strategy for whole genome sequencing is ?
(a) double the coding sequence after sequencing the proteins
(b) shotgun sequence and assemble based on overlaps
(c) identify mutations that affect glycolysis
(d) obtain recombinant DNA clone maps before starting the sequencing
