Answer:
c. Taq polymerase is heat-stable and can withstand high temperatures.
Explanation:
The process of PCR amplifies a small amount of DNA into multiple copies. For the purpose, the sample DNA fragments are denatured at higher temperature conditions (around 95 degrees Celsius). This separates the two strands of the sample DNA which in turn serve as a template. Taq polymerase from a thermophile can withstand the extremes of the temperature conditions required for denaturation of sample DNA. Unlike the DNA polymerases from other organisms such as humans, Taq polymerase is not denatured at higher temperatures.
Therefore, Taq polymerase can be used as an enzyme of primer elongation to amplify the DNA by PCR.
Answer:
Benedict's test which is meant to detect non-reducing sugar like sucrose from reducing sugars like glucose, fructose or galactose can be used to identify sucrose.
Explanation:
Glucose, fructose and galactose are reducing sugars so they can easily be identified against non-reducing like sucrose. A reducing sugar is a kind of sugar which has a free aldehyde or ketone group. Free aldehyde and ketone groups act as a reducing agent and they are capable of reducing other substances. In this situation, the reducing sugar reduces other substances and themselves get oxidized. In contrast to this, a non-reducing sugar can not act as a reducing agent because it has lack of a free aldehyde or ketone group.
Benedict's test is a test which is used to identify a non reducing sugar from reducing sugars. In this test, a reducing sugar (Glucose, fructose or galactose) is heated with Benedict's solution which leads to the change of color of solution to orange-red/ brick red. But no such color change will be detected if sucrose is heated with Benedict's solution.
Electricity will not generally cause Internal bleeding
Answer:
The correct answer would be C. Left untreated, it can cause intellectual disability.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a defect in a gene responsible for making phenylalanine digesting enzyme.
This defect leads to the lack or deficiency of this enzyme in the body. Consequently, phenylalanine builds up in the body.
People with this disorder are usually put on a restricted diet which restricts protein-rich food (such as milk, meat, cheese etc as they contain amino acid phenylalanine) from their meals.
Untreated PKU can cause various complications such as brain damage (intellectual disability), neurological problems, major health and development problems etc.
