Pyrosequencing is a widely utilized sequencing technique. In this reaction:
A. the generation of pyrophosphate stimulates luciferase to create light. B. sulfurylase activates luciferase, which then creates light. C. DNA polymerase adds dideoxynucleotides. D. apyrase generates pyrophosphate. E. sulfurylase converts pyrophosphate to ATP.
Which individual is not an Arachnid?

What information can be inferred about genes that are located on different chromosomes?
A) These genes are inherited independently of each other. B) Only the dominant alleles of these genes tend to be inherited together. C) These genes are always inherited together. D) These genes are more likely to undergo mutation.
A scientist studied DNA replication in a test tube. He added single-stranded DNA template strands, DNA polymerase, and radioactively-labeled nucleotides. After replication occurred, he tested the DNA to find out which strands now contained radioactive nucleotides. What is the best prediction of his results?
A) Only the template strands will contain radioactive nucleotides. B) Only the newly-synthesized strands will contain radioactive nucleotides. C) Both the template strands and the newly-synthesized strands will contain radioactive nucleotides. D) Neither the template strands nor the newly-synthesized strands will contain radioactive nucleotides
