Answer:

Disturbance to deep sea bed and biodiversity

Explanation:

Harvesting of mineral nodules on the sea floor is done by deep sea mining.

The adverse impacts of deep sea mining are as follows -

Degradation of habitat of ocean species living at the sea bed.

Degradation of habitat causes extinction of species

Noise pollution under the sea

Plumes of suspended sediments  

Disturbance in the ecosystem

kicyunya [14]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"You determine that you have only 3 copies left of an important DNA fragment, so you decide to amplify it. Using flanking primers, how many PCR cycles would you have to run to generate over one billion (10^9) copies of the fragment? "

Answer:

Approximately 29 cycles of PCR would be required.

Explanation:

As you may already know, PCR is a technique used in molecular biology that allows part of a DNA molecule to be recycled into millions of copies.

PCR allows this replication to be done through cycles. Each PCR cycle lasts about 2 minutes and allows the DNA molecule to undergo the separation of the strands, the binding of the primers and the synthesis of new DNA strands through DNA polymerase. This cycle is usually repeated 32 times, but this number may change depending on the number of copies the researcher thinks is necessary.

In this case, if a researcher wants 10 ^ 9 copies of DNA, he must do the following calculation to find the number of PCR cycles needed:

32 ^ x = 10 ^ 9

x = 28.3 = approximately 29 cycles.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since Mark's wife was a carrier, it means that she is heterozygous for the trait. And after Mark got tested, they decided to have children due to no increased risk if they do have children, it means the condition is not an autosomal dominant condition but a recessive condition because if the condition is dominant, only one copy of the affected allele is needed to increase risk.

Thus, with a no increased risk, it means Mark is normal i.e. carries no copy of the recessive allele.
