Why does a dideoxyribonucleotide terminate a growing DNA strand?
ConnerMiskowiec
Because it lacks a 3' -OH (hydroxyl) group - the site of attachment of the next nucleotide.

What enzyme links DNA nucleotides to a growing daughter strand?
DNA Polymerase
Which of the following is an enzyme needed to connect new bases to a growing strand of DNA A Connexin B Lactase C DNA polymerase D Helicase?
C) DNA Polymerase ; )
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
What would match the DNA strand TCCGAACGTC?
The DNA strand, AGGCTTGCAG.
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.
What enzyme links DNA nucleotides to a growing daughter strand?
DNA Polymerase
Dideoxyribonucleotide chain-termination is a method of?
Sequencing DNA (Sanger Sequencing Method).
What attaches free nucleotides to the growing DNA strand?
During DNA replication, DNA polymerase binds free DNA nucleotides to an unzipped DNA strand. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds free RNA nucleotides to the unzipped anti-sense DNA strand.
What is the strand?
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template?
The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
What end of a growing strand are DNA nucleotides added to?
5' end (nucleotides are added from 3' toward 5')
Which of the following is an enzyme needed to connect new bases to a growing strand of DNA A Connexin B Lactase C DNA polymerase D Helicase?
C) DNA Polymerase ; )
Name of the DNA strand which is copied to make mRNA?
This is typically called the template DNA, which is the anti-sense strand of DNA. The strand that is not transcribed is called the sense strand.
What would match the DNA strand TCCGAACGTC?
The DNA strand, AGGCTTGCAG.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.
What is formed when reverse transcriptase is used on a strand of mRNA?
A strand of DNA
