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.

Over 1,800 mutations have been described within the CFTR gene. These mutations can be readily detected using PCR and DNA sequenc
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.

As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.

The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

Sheena wants to measure the volume of a ball that is 24 cm across. How should she set up her equation?
Semmy [17]
Given that Sheena's ball is a sphere, its volume can be obtained by using the formula: V_ball = (4/3)*pi*r^3, where, r is the radius of the sphere. Since the ball is 24 cm across, this means that the radius is half of the diameter which is equal to 12 cm. Thus, the volume of the ball is equal to 7238.2295 cm^2.
