A.
To explain: What would happen if dideoxycytosine triphosphate (ddCTP) were added in excess over the concentration of available normal deoxycytosine triphosphate (dCTP) in a
Introduction: DNA is the blueprint of life and contains genetic information. The replication of DNA is semiconservative. During DNA replication, DNA polymerase enzyme molecules catalyze the synthesis of DNA. They add DNA nucleotides to an existing strand at 3′-OH in the 5ʹ-3ʹ direction with high fidelity and proofread it. The nucleotides enter the DNA replication reaction as deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate.
B.
To explain: What would happen if ddCTP were added at 10% of the concentration of the available dCTP.
Introduction: DNA is the blueprint of life and contains genetic information. The replication of DNA is semiconservative. During DNA replication, DNA polymerase enzyme molecules catalyze the synthesis of DNA. They add DNA nucleotides to an existing strand at 3′-OH in the 5ʹ-3ʹ direction with high fidelity and proofread it. The nucleotides enter the DNA replication reaction as deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate.
C.
To explain: What would happen if dideoxycytosine monophosphate (ddCMP) were added to a DNA replication reaction?

She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes. Which of the following Plasmodium species is most likely responsible for her severe symptoms? A. Plasmodium vivax B. Plasmodium ovale C. Plasmodium malariae D.
