A deoxynucleotide is made up of an organic base, a ribose sugar and phosphate. DNA polymerase requires deoxynucleotides in their triphosphate (containing three phosphates) form in order for DNA synthesis to take place[1]. The 4 triphosphates (dNTPs) are ATP, CTP, GTP and TTP, one for each organise base – adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine relatively.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> TRIPHOSPHATES<br /> <br /> Deoxynucletodie triphosphates are an essential component of nuelic acid molecules and are required in PCR (polymerase chain reaction), a technique used in genetics that analyses a short sequence of DNA and used to amplify sections of DNA that are wanted and required [2]. No amplified DNA would be able to be made without dNTPs.[3]<br /> <br /> [1]&amp;nbsp;[http://groups.molbiosci.northwestern.edu/holmgren/Glossary/Definitions/Def-D/deoxynucleotide.html groups.molbiosci.northwestern.edu/holmgren/Glossary/Definitions/Def-D/deoxynucleotide.html]<br /> <br /> [2]&amp;nbsp;[https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4807 www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp]<br /> <br /> [3]&amp;nbsp;[https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4020-6241-4_6 link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4020-6241-4_6]</div>
