Which of the following molecules is not required for a PCR reaction? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following molecules is
natita [175]

Answer:

A Ligase

B False

C To separate the double‑stranded DNA

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to make millions of copies of a specific sequence of DNA. PCR requires deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) to synthesize new copies of the target DNA fragment, a thermostable DNA polymerase that adds nucleotides to new DNA strands, and primers that attach to complementary ends at each DNA strand. PCR has three phases: 1-Denaturation, where the double-stranded DNA molecule is heated to separate it into two single (separated) strands; 2-annealing, where the temperature is lowered in order to allow the primers to attach each DNA strand, and 3- extension, where the temperature is increased (again), and the thermostable DNA polymerase adds the appropriate dNTPs to new DNA strands. In consequence, annealing occurs at the lowest temperature. Moreover, during the denaturation stage, the temperature is increased at 90–95°C  in order to denature the DNA strands into single strands.

Three ways you can identify pairs of homologous chromosomes?
diamong [38]

An organism inherits one chromosome of a homologous pair from the maternal parent and the other chromosome from the paternal parent. Although both chromosomes possess the same genes and loci, they may feature different alleles, or versions, of those genes. For example, a maternally inherited chromosome in a pea plant may contain an allele that codes for a green pod, while the allele for a yellow pod may be found at the same location on the paternally inherited homologous chromosome. The differences between alleles of a gene are determined by deviations in their DNA sequences.

A diploid organism possesses two copies of each type of chromosome, with the potential exception of the sex chromosomes, in each of its cells. Humans, for example, have a total of 46 chromosomes in their cells. Human females have two copies of the sex chromosome called the X chromosome, so they have 23 sets of homologous chromosomes. Human males, however, possess one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome, so they have 22 sets of homologous chromosomes, plus two sex chromosomes that are not homologous.

What is the function in a cell of the carbon compounds nucleic acids
Marta_Voda [28]
They form muscles, speed up chemical reactions, and perform many other cellular functions. Nucleic acids are organic compounds that include DNA and RNA. DNA contains genetic instructions for proteins, and RNA helps assemble the proteins.
