In the Current Form of Dideoxy DNA Sequencing, the Primer

question 8

Multiple Choice

In the current form of dideoxy DNA sequencing, the primer is unlabeled and each dideoxynucleotide is labeled with a different fluorescent marker. This method

• A) eliminates the need to run sequencing reaction products on a gel.
• B) eliminates the need for sophisticated machines to read the output of each sequencing reaction.
• C) allows a DNA sequence to be determined from 4 separate sequencing reactions, each run on a separate lane of a gel.
• D) allows a DNA sequence to be determined from one sequencing reaction that is run on a single lane of a gel.

Definitions:

Structured Problems

Structured problems are well-defined, clear, and straightforward issues that can be solved through recognized procedures and methods.

Unstructured Problems

Involve situations that are complex and lack clear definition or a straightforward solution path, often requiring creative problem-solving techniques.

Uncertain Environment

An environment that lacks so much information that it is difficult to assign probabilities to the likely outcomes of alternatives.

Probabilities

The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, often expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
