The use of fluorescent-labeled dideoxynucleotides is a characteristic of what type of sequencing?
A) automated DNA sequencing
B) base-specific DNA cleavage

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluorescent-labeled dideoxynucleotides are used in automated DNA sequencing, where the incorporation of the labeled nucleotides is detected by fluorescence as each base is added to the growing DNA strand. This method allows for relatively rapid sequencing of DNA. Base-specific DNA cleavage involves the use of specific enzymes to cleave DNA at particular bases, and does not typically involve fluorescent labeling.
