There are two different ways of determining the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid: the chemical quencing (Maxam-Gilbert) method and the enzymatic sequencing (Sanger) method. The basic principle/advantage of the Sanger method is
A. The differential interaction of the bases with particular dyes
B. Extension of a synthetic primer and reliable termination of DNA repair synthesis
C. The correlation of restriction sites with the end-label of the DNA
D. The ability to 'sequence' both strands of the DNA duplex simultaneously
Answer: Option D
Which of the following would not possible to address using a Northern Blot?

B. Spatial expression of a particular gene
C. Temporal expression of a particular gene
D. mRNA size
In southern blotting . . . . . . . . is separated by gel electrophoresis
A. DNA
B. m-RNA
C. t-RNA
D. Protein
A restriction enzyme AluI with a 4-bp recognition site produces restriction fragments that should be
A. 4096 bp
B. 256 bp
C. 16 bp
D. 436 bp
A. To add base at the 3' end of the DNA
B. To add base at the 5' end of the DNA
C. To carry out nick translation
D. To transfer phosphate at the 3' end of the DNA
