Answer: Nucleotides are the monomers used for DNA synthesis. The mix also contains a template, DNA taq polymerase, buffer, reverse and foward primer and magnesium ions.
Explanation:
A PCR master mix is a premixed solution that has all of the components for a Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This reaction is a laboratory technique that amplifies small fragments of DNA into millions of copies.
The master mix used for that contains dNTPs (nucleotides). In the DNA there are four types of nucleotides that are differentiated by the nitrogen base they have: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).
<u>Since nucleotides are the monomers that make DNA, they are found in the mix because they are the material for DNA synthesis.</u>
The reaction mixture also requires;
- DNA template, the sequence of DNA to be amplified
- DNA taq polymerase, a heat resistant enzyme that assembles nucleotides into a new DNA
- Salt buffer, for an optimum ionic environment and pH
- Oligonucleotide primers (reverse and foward), pieces of DNA complementary to the template. Each hybridizes with one of the DNA chains.
- Magnesium ions, a catalyst required by DNA polymerase to work
Interphase:
-the cell replicates its chromosomes
-each chromosome has two sister chromatids held together by a centromere
Prophase 1 chromosomes coil up and a spindle forms
-homologous chromosomes come together matched gene by gene forming a tetrad
-Crossing Over may occur when chromatids exchange genetic material
-this occurs two or three times per pair of homologous chromosomes
-Crossing Over results in new combinations of alleles on a chromosomes
Metaphase 1:
-the centromere of each chromosome becomes attached to a spindle fiber
-the spindle fibers pull the tetrads to the equator of the spindle
-homologous chromosomes are lined up side by side as tetrads
Anaphase 1:
-homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
-centromeres do not split
-this ensures that each new cell will receive only one chromosome from each homologous
pair
Telophase 1:
-the spindle breaks down and the chromosomes uncoil
-the cytoplasm divides to yield two new cells
-each cell has half the genetic information of the original cell because it has only one homologous
chromosome from each pair
Prophase II-
-a spindle forms in each of the two new cells and the fibers attach to the chromosomes
Metaphase II-
-the chromosomes are pulled to the center of the cell and line up randomly at the equator
Anaphase II-
-the centromere of each chromosome splits the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
Telophase II nuclei re form the spindles break down the cytoplasm divides identical to mitosis (Meiosis II)
What Meiosis produces four haploid sex cells from one original diploid cell each haploid cell contains one chromosome from each homologous pair haploid cells will become gametes transmitting genes to offspring
