Answer #1

18) Sanger sequencing is a method of gene sequencing.

- Uses normal replication machineries and additionally use dideoxy nucleotides.

- Dideoxy nucleotides are nucleotides in which 2' and 3' hydoxyl groups removed.

- Usually DNA polymerase add incoming nucleotides to the 3' OH of existing nucleotide sequence during chain elongation.

- Here, the elongation and replication progresses normally and in between a dideoxy nucleotide incorperates instead of normal nucleotides.

- Due to the absence of 3' OH in dideoxy nucleotides, the reaction do not progress further. Thus the termination occurs.
