STRs are short sequences of the DNA that are repeated multiple times on a DNA strand. The PCR process can multiply specific DNA sequences by using primers.
Primers are short DNA sequences that are complementary to the sequence we want to multiply. In the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) process primers can be used to amplify specific STRs. The PCR process has multiple cycles with temperature changes. In each cycle, the two DNA strands are separated and the primer and the STR are synthesized. With each new cycle, there is two times more of the amplified sequence, so the number of targeted sequences grows exponentially, resulting in a large number of copies of the sequence we want to have.

Tundra and desert biomes have shallow soil profiles because weathering is limited by a lack of

nalin [4]

Extreme temperature and bedrocks Tundra and desert both have shallow soil profiles because of the extreme temperatures and the bedrocks it has. In the case of tundra, it has extreme cold temperature and the soil were covered in ice in long periods of time. Because of this, the plants were unable to get water from the bedrocks resulting in plants dying. In the desert, however, it has extreme hot temperature making the plants unable to survuve due to lack of water in the environment and in the bedrocks. The plants that can only survive in this temperature are the plants that has the ability to store water in their system.

Science rejects any hypothesis not supported by __________________________ and the results of ___________________________ experi

Ket [755]

Answer:

Observations; control.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is considered to be tentative or an educated guess and can be defined as a testable explanation for an observation or a scientific problem. An example of a hypothesis is saying, Corona virus is caused by the introduction of the "5G" technology.

On the other hand, a control experiment can be defined as an experiment in which a condition assumed to be a probable cause of the effect is being compared to the same situation by the scientist without involving or using the suspected condition.

Hence, science rejects any hypothesis not supported by observations and the results of control experiments.

This ultimately implies that, for any hypothesis to be acceptable in science, it must be supported by observations and the results of control experiments; this give rise to factual informations, theories and by extension solutions to problems.

Helium nuclei are more difficult to fuse than hydrogen nuclei because they have a greater positive charge.

nataly862011 [7]

Helium nuclei have a positive charge of 2+ when observed. Compared to a hydrogen nuclei, we can see that the Helium nuclei is more difficult to fuse as it has a greater charge than Hydrogen 1+. This chemical difference makes the answer true.
