Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA and can be detected with specific antibodies. Tritiated thymidine and uridine are radioactive compounds used for measuring DNA and RNA synthesis, respectively. Bromouridine is not commonly used for detecting replication sites.
