Practice questions

1 of 21Practice questions for this set
A lab uses Sanger sequencing to determine a DNA segment. During DNA synthesis, normal dNTPs and small amounts of fluorescently labeled ddNTPs are present. Incorporation of a ddNTP prevents addition of further nucleotides to that strand. The resulting fragments are separated by capillary electrophoresis, and a detector records fluorescence to infer the terminal base of each fragment. Which statement best explains why many fragment lengths are produced in a single reaction?
