Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the X linked allele "a" gives the disorder. Therefore, the genotype of the affected man would be X^aY while the genotype of the carrier woman would be X^aX. A cross between X^aY man and X^aX woman would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio: 1 affected daughter: 1 affected son: 1 normal but carrier daughter: 1 normal son.

Therefore, there are 50% chances that their children can express the disorder.

A postitivly charged atom has? A.Lost electrons B. Lost protons C.Gained electrons D.Gained protons
Kipish [7]

Not to be too picky, but the question ought to say a positively charge ion rather than atom.

I will assume that is what you mean. An ion, using ordinary means, will be positive if it loses electrons (which are negative).

An ion can never gain protons. Left alone, the nucleus will remain unchanged for the rest of eternity. D is wrong.

C is wrong. If electrons are gained, the ion will go negative.

B is wrong for the same reason D is. An ion can't gain protons and it can't lose them.

A is the answer.

We used the enzyme, taq polymerase, which is derived from the thermus aquaticus bacterium, in our pcr procedure. Why is this enz
wel

The enzyme Taq polymerase is required in the PCR process because it is the main enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA strands complementary to the template strand and without the activity of this enzyme the PCR will be useless and it cannot make the copy of the given strand in any way. Thus, this enzyme is very much necessary for the efficient working of the PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is a very efficient technique that can able to detect and copy even a small amount of DNA by performing a set of reactions at different temperatures.

The PCR process begins with the denaturing of the template strand at 95°C, followed by annealing in which the appropriate primers bind to the single strands of DNA at 50-56°C, followed by extension at 72°C in which the thermostable Taq polymerase synthesizes the strand complementary to the template DNA.
