Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a technique to make many copies of a specific DNA region in vitro (in a test tube rather than an organism).

PCR relies on a thermostable DNA polymerase, Taq polymerase, and requires DNA primers designed specifically for the DNA region of interest.

In PCR, the reaction is repeatedly cycled through a series of temperature changes, which allow many copies of the target region to be produced.

PCR has many research and practical applications. It is routinely used in DNA cloning, medical diagnostics, and forensic analysis of DNA.

PCR:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a common laboratory technique used to make many copies (millions or billions!) of a particular region of DNA. This DNA region can be anything the experimenter is interested in. For example, it might be a gene whose function a researcher wants to understand, or a genetic marker used by forensic scientists to match crime scene DNA with suspects.

Typically, the goal of PCR is to make enough of the target DNA region that it can be analyzed or used in some other way. For instance, DNA amplified by PCR may be sent for sequencing, visualized by gel electrophoresis, or cloned into a plasmid for further experiments.

PCR is used in many areas of biology and medicine, including molecular biology research, medical diagnostics, and even some branches of ecology.

DNA profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the DNA. Instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to produce many copies of specific STR sequences. PCR is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of DNA

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: Firstly put your finger under some cold water and light dry it with a towel. If you have aloe Vera that would be great but don’t use lotion or any other face cream/body cream because it will irritate the burn and eventually your finger. Lastly keep your finger away from anything that can harm it such as paper, once the aloe Vera dries apply more until you feel comfortable to put a band aid on your finger

Hopefully your finger gets better fast :)

A taxi driver who is a serial killer kidnaps his passenger and force the passenger to play the game of death with him.
ella [17]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see now that there is a 50% chance of the taxi driver picking the poisonous pill each time. This seems like a high chance at first, but if you keep on doing it over and over again the probability is smaller and smaller that he will survive. The first time it is 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, and it gets smaller and smaller. Therefore, there must be something else going on for this taxi driver to have such good luck.

We see that passenger is the one who picks it because if the taxi driver picked it, it would be rigged. However, there has to be a way that the passenger always dies. Therefore, it makes the most sense that the poison isn't actually in the pills, but in something else.

We see that each passenger had to swallow the pill with water. When they say that one of them is harmless and the other one is poisonous, they did not clarify that they were talking about the pills. They could have easily been talking about the glasses of water. And, the passenger does not pick which glass of water to drink, so it could easily be rigged so that they are drinking poisoned water.

Sherlock could have easily asked to swallow the pill with his own water, another drink, or to swallow it without any liquid.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
