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.

Having hair is a(n) _________ trait among mammals.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Derived trait

Explanation:

An ancestral (or primitive) trait/character is a feature inherited from the common ancestor of the species/group of interest, while derived traits are those that were absent in the last common ancestor of the group of interest. For example, considering mammals as the target group, the presence of hair is a shared derived trait relative to other vertebrates, i.e., amphibians, reptiles, and birds. However, this trait (hair) is ancestral for humans since the genetically closest species to humans (e.g., chimpanzees) also have hair.

Hope this helps :)

Alternative splicing of single mRNA transcripts gives rise to multiple mRNAs. View Available Hint(s) Alternative splicing of sin
Degger [83]

Answer:

<u>Option-</u> True

  • During the process of the protein synthesis the mRNA is processed through the stages of creating the multiple number of mRNA. As, these fragments help in the formation of the protein molecules or different amino acids sequences from the given set of 20 amino acids.

How does breathing work?
prohojiy [21]
Breathing in
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

What can you infer about a species that has a random pattern of distribution over space? A uniform pattern?
Leona [35]

The individual organisms that frame a population are additional or less equally spaced, spread every which way with no predictable pattern, or clustered in teams. These are called the uniform, random, and clumped dispersion patterns.   Uniform refers to the evenly distributed population, random means random spacing and clumped shows the distribution in clusters.

Food supply and resources are directly proportional to a particular distribution pattern. Random distribution occurs when several pollen grains of some flowers were carried by wind or bees. These flowers will then bloom where they were scattered.

hope this um ... helps hehe ........
