Iodine-131, a beta emitter, is one such product of nuclear fission, extremely dangerous because it is typically produced in huge
quantities and because it is incorporated in the human body in the thyroid gland. The half-life of 1311 is 8.04 days. What fraction (expressed as a decimal number) of the 1311 produced in a nuclear accident would remain after 60.0 days?
Prions are misfolded proteins found in the brain, they cause other proteins to fold the same way. The cell can't degrade the proteins which leads to an accumulation of these misfolded proteins and the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson
The answer is restriction enzymes. These staggered ends are important in recombination of DNA since they allow DNA strands with complementary sticky ends to be easily joined into one piece by DNA ligase. Other restriction enzymes produce blunt ends. These are harder to join by DNA ligase. An example of a restriction ezyme if EcoRI
