55
Q

A woman goes to the doctor for her annual checkup. After noticing some concerning signs, the doctor decides to do a DNA analysis of many different cells. DNA is extracted from her skin, liver, and stomach tissue. The DNA is then analyzed. The results found that every DNA molecule was different lengths, and they all ended in a guanine nucleotide. In addition one strand was usually longer than the other. What could explain these results?

A

G nucleotides are missing 3’ OH
