In the dideoxy-sequencing reaction, what terminates DNA synthesis at a particular base? a. The absence of a base on the ddNTP halts the DNA polymerase. b. The ddNTP causes a break in the sugar–phosphate backbone. c. DNA polymerase will not incorporate a ddNTP into the growing DNA strand. d. The absence of a 3′-OH group on the ddNTP prevents the addition of another nucleotide.

A. The leading strand is sythesised in Okazaki fragments
B. The lagging strand is synthesised in short Okazaki fragments.
C. Only one strand is replicated.
D. There are more than one DNA polymerase involved.
What describes or designates the 3' end of a DNA strand?
a.
an available hydroxyl group on the 5th carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotide
b.
an available phosphate group on the 3rd carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotide
