The PCR amplification process most frequently employs an enzyme known as Taq DNA polymerase.

Taq Polymerase, or Taq DNA  polymerase, is a biological catalyst that helps nucleotides join together to form DNA. Taq polymerase is a protein that is 832-amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 94 kilodaltons. It is a homolog of the Pol I DNA polymerase that is found in <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E.coli</em>) (approx). This enzyme can withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes before reaching its half-life. At the ideal temperature of 72 degrees Celsius, the rate of nucleotide incorporation ranges from two to four kilobases per minute.  

Polymerase chain reaction operates at a very high temperature. At this temperature, Taq polymerase is able to carry out its function efficiently.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The star could also be said to be 360 Million Million miles from the earth's sun.

Explanation:

A light year equals 9.4607 × 10^{12} km.

This is also approximately 6 Million Million Miles.

If we expressed the answer in miles, then we have to multiply 6 by 60.

This is equals to 360.

Therefore, 60 Light years is approximately 360 Million Million miles.

Describe THREE things you can do to help protect the ozone layer?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Avoid the consumption of gases dangerous to the ozone layer, due to their content or manufacturing process. Some of the most dangerous gases are chlorofluorocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbon, methyl bromide, and nitrous oxide.

Minimize the use of cars. The best transport options are urban, bicycle, or walking. If you use a car, try to carpool to decrease the use of cars. This prevents pollution.

Do not use cleaning products that are harmful to the environment. Many cleaning products contain substances that are corrosive. Replace these dangerous substances with non-toxic products such as vinegar or bicarbonate.

Buy local products. Not only do you get fresh products but you avoid consuming food that has traveled long distances. The more food is transported, the more nitrous oxide is produced due to the cars or trucks used to transport it.

Maintain air conditioners, as their malfunctions cause chemicals to escape into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Hope this helped! =)
