I believe the answer would be transmission.
Answer:
B. Use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to make multiple copies of the DNA.
Explanation:
The scientist is to analyze a small sample of DNA, the most useful step to start this would be first the use of polymerase chain reaction to make various copies of that DNA sample. PCR is essential and quick process that gives a lot of copies within few hours. It uses the sample or target DNA, according to which the primers are designed. Taq polymerase and DNA polymerase are also used in the process, it consist of various cycles in which copies are made. There are three basic steps 'Denaturation', 'annealing', and 'extension'.
Answer:
D. Aa
Explanation:
Given:
Jill (mother) is heterozygous for gene A --------- i.e Jill = Aa
Jack (father) who is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- i.e Jack = aa
Now if both cross and fertilization occurs, we have:
A a
a Aa aa
a Aa aa
The offsprings are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)
Nondsijunction is the inability of homologous chromosomes to seperate properly during cell division. Now, we were told that this fertilization undergone nondisjunction in meiosis 1. Hence, both homologous chromosome move into the same daughter cells instead of different daughter cells because separation of homologous chromosome does not occur properly.
Therefore the result of these fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with an egg that had undergone nondisjunction in meiosis yields offspring with genotype Aa of their Mother (Jill).
