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.

When amino acids are degraded for energy or glucose production, their amine groups are incorporated by the liver into ____.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - urea.

Explanation:

In our body, to produce energy or produce glucose our body breaks the amino acids, it gets from proteins mainly. These amino acids are mainly breakdown into amine groups.

The human body has a unique ability to pack ammonia(amine group) by converting it to urea and incorporated and produced by the liver using 2 molecules of ammonia (NH3) and 1 molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2).  This incorporated urea is then secreted from the liver and incorporated into the urine in the kidney for further process.

Hello!

Meiosis occurs in humans, animals, plants and fungi, and its a sexual type of reproduction. The daughter cells are different, cause the chromosomes are mixed. Mitosis is a asexual type of reproduction and the daughter cells are identical.

kondor19780726 [428]
The formation of the canyon provides a physical barrier that me lead to speciation between the two populations if interbreeding is prevented. The population to the west of the canyon will probably adapt to feeding on the berries on land, and might therefore evolve traits for a terrestrial, vegetarian existence. The turtles to the east of the canyon will evolve to take advantage of the river environment, and aquatic characteristics will be further emphasised.
