Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of DNA sequencing?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of building blocks called nucleotides.
  • Step 2: Know that the order of these nucleotides is important because it contains the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.
  • Step 3: Realize that DNA sequencing is a method used to find out the exact order of these nucleotides in a DNA sample.
  • Step 4: Recognize that by knowing this order, scientists can learn about genes, genetic disorders, and how living things function.
