How many molecules of DNA would result from one molecule after four cycles of PCR

Answer: B.16

Explanation

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used in molecular biology to make millions of copies DNA from a small amount of it. To acomplish this, short segments of DNA called primers are designed to each chain of the DNA that is going to be copied. Then, the DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to theose primers that will be complementary to the DNA chains. After one molecule is amplified, a new molecule is amplified using that one and so on and so forth. <u>Then, 2 chains are amplified in one cycle to get 2 molecules</u> (with two chains each) Thereby, the replication rate of DNA is exponential, then it is calculated as:

1 x (2^4) = 16 DNA molecules.

1= molecule

2= chains per molecule

4= number of cycles

I think the answer should be 16 because 1×2^4=16

In plants, chloroplasts are necessary for A. respiration. B. photosynthesis. C. secretion. D. both respiration AND secretion. E.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

B- Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are <em>chlorophyll-containing, eukaryotic cell structures</em> that function in photosynthesis by absorbing energy from sunlight, combining this energy with water and CO2 to convert them to sugars . This cell structure is known as a plastid. The sugars produced, are important for the survival of the plant.

Chloroplasts reproduce on their own, independent of the whole cell because they contain their own DNA. Plant chloroplasts are located  in guard cells in plant leaves. Closely linked to these guard cells are tiny pores called stomata, which allow gas exchange required for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:

  1. The light reaction stage
  2. The dark reaction stage

The Light reaction stage takes place in the presence of light. Clorophyll converts light into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Both molecules produced, are used in the dark stage to produce sugar.

In the dark reaction stage, the stroma, containing enzymes, facilitates reactions leading to the production of sugars from ATP and NADPH. This process is also called the carbon fixation stage. The sugar produced can be stored in the form of starch for other processes such as respiration.
