The chain termination method of DNA sequencing is based on a replicating DNA strand incorporating a(n) deoxynucleotide that stops the chain elongation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chain termination method of DNA sequencing, also known as Sanger sequencing, is based on the incorporation of a dideoxynucleotide (not a deoxynucleotide) that lacks a 3' hydroxyl group, which stops the chain elongation.
