Therefore, whenever a ddNTP is added to a growing DNA strand, it is unable to chemically bind with the next nucleotide in the chain, and the DNA strand stops growing. Figure 3: By adding together information about all of the truncated strands, researchers can determine the nucleotide sequence of the DNA target.
Functions of the Bladder. Temporary store of urine â The bladder is a hollow organ. The walls are very distensible, with a folded internal lining (known as rugae), this allows it to hold up to 600ml. Assists in the expulsion of urine â During voiding, the musculature of the bladder contracts, and the sphincters relax.
