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'.

What term is used to describe 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids chemically combined?
hjlf

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

When light is refracted, the degree of bending is determined in part by?
EastWind [94]

<span>Refraction happens when there</span> is a bending of path of a light wave as it passes across the boundary separating two media and the degree of bending is determined in part by the total change in velocity as the light<span> passes from one medium to the other. In addition, the change in speed experienced by a wave when it changes medium can result in a number of beautiful optical effects. </span>
