Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA sequencing is primarily used to determine the sequence of bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) in a segment of DNA. This process reveals the exact order of nucleotides along a DNA strand, which is crucial for understanding genetic information, diagnosing genetic disorders, and conducting various types of biological research.
