Question

Differentiate between chain termination and chemical degradation methods of gene sequencing

Answer 1

Answer:

Chain termination and chemical degradation are the two different methods implemented in gene sequencing.

Explanation:

Chain termination is a chemical reaction which stops the polymerization of the gene sequence.

Chemical degradation is a process where gene sequencing is done by using chemicals or markers such as Flurophores.

One is a natural method and the other is induced one.

Answer 2

Chain termination and chemical degradation methods help in gene alteration or specifically gene sequencing.

Chain termination:

• The chain termination is a natural process

• It is the process in which, the chemicals used stops the polymerise reactions of the gene sequencing.
• It is done to have the required sequence according to the need.

Chemical degradation:

• Chemical degradation is an induced process.

• It is the process in which, the chemicals used degrades the sequences using bio markers, etc.
• It is one of the induced method used in gene sequencing.
