Which suspect’s DNA matches that found at the crime scene? Does this automatically mean that the suspect is guilty? 2. What poss
igomit [66]

Answer:

RFLP analysis of genomic DNA is facilitated by Southern blot analysis.   After electro-phoresis, DNA fragments in the gel are denatured by soaking in an alkali solution.  This causes double-stranded fragments to be converted into single-stranded form (no longer base-paired in a double helix).  A replica of the electrophoretic pattern of DNA fragments in the gel is made by transferring (blotting) them to a sheet of nitrocellulose or nylon membrane. This is done by placing the membrane on the gel after electro-phoresis and transferring DNA fragments to the membrane by capillary action or electro-transfer.  DNA, which is not visible, becomes permanently adsorbed to the membrane, that can then be manipulated easier than gels.

Which receptor on the helper T-cell recognizes the specific antigen from an antigen-presenting cell? Which receptor on the helpe
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

TCR

Explanation:

Helper T cells are the CD4T cells that are present in the inactive form. These cells have receptors for antigens on their surface. These antigen receptors are called T-cell receptors (TCRs). The function of TCR is to recognize and bind to specific foreign antigen fragments that are presented in antigen–MHC complexes. Different helper T cells have their unique TCRs to recognize a specific antigen–MHC complex. The CD4 proteins of helper T cells also interact with the MHC antigens and help maintain the TCR–MHC coupling.

The amoeba is a eukaryote whose bodies most often consist of a single cell.
The cells of amoebae, like those of other eukaryotes, possess certain characteristic features. For example:-
1. Their cytoplasm and cellular contents are enclosed within a cell membrane.
2. Their DNA is packaged into a central cellular compartment called the nucleus.
3. They contain specialized structures called organelles, which execute a range of cellular functions including energy production and protein transport.

A woman heterozygous for polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), a dominant trait, is married to a normal man. What is the probabi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is -50%

Explanation:

Polydactyly is a dominant trait where a person gets an extra finger or toes the dominant allele is represented by P = allele for polydactyly, and the recessive allele represented by p = normal allele

So, the heterozygous woman will be - Pp & the normal man will be - pp.  The presence of one allele of polydactyly will be able to show its effect as it is dominant.

Cross between heterozygous woman & normal man:

Gametes:

   P                              p

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

From the above Punnett square, the probability of an offspring that has extra fingers or toes will be 1/2 or 50%.
