The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A student carries out PCR using the following steps: Step 1: 94°C for 1 minute Step 2: 60°C for 30 seconds Step 3: 72°C for 30 seconds After subjecting his PCR reaction to gel electrophoresis, the student sees no PCR product on the gel. What error(s) might he have made? (Select all that apply.) a. He carried out step 1 at too low a temperature. b. He carried out step 1 at too high a temperature. c. He carried out step 2 at too low a temperature. d. He carried out step 2 at too high a temperature. e. He carried out step 3 for too short a time.
Answer:
The correct answers are options d and e, that is, the student might have carried the step 2 at too high temperature, and he would have carried the step 3 for a brief duration.
Explanation:
In the PCR, step 1 is termed as the denaturation step and it generally takes place at 94 or 95 degrees Celsius. Thus, option a and b are incorrect. In step 2 of the PCR reaction, the combination of primers takes place with the template, this step is known as the annealing step. The temperatures in the annealing step are important for PCR, if the temperature of annealing is too much, it can lead to no product formation, and if it is too less than the formation of products would be non-specific.
In step 3 of the PCR reaction, the temperature is extended and the Taq polymerase enzyme is used to perform the reaction, which supplements nucleotides to the newly developed stand, at the frequency of 1 kilobase pair per minute. If the product of PCR is one kilobase or more, then a 30 seconds extension time would be not enough and the product would fail to appear. Hence, the correct options would be d and e.
Answer:
A) Elastin
Explanation:
Elastin is the principle load-bearing protien present in the wall of aorta. It is the protien which coil and recoils like a spring within the elastic fibres and accounts for elasticity of blood vessels. As during excerise , afterload is increased ,thus a stretch is produced in the vessels. Similarly im warm environment the vessels dilate this this stretch is produced by elastin.
The right answer is Bonds of equal strength in all directions.
Cleavage is a preferred fracture plane whose orientation is dictated by the crystalline structure. "It is, therefore, the property of certain minerals to break in directions predetermined by the atomic structure of the mineral (= to cleave). According to the minerals, there may be one, two, or three directions of cleavage, called cleavage planes and the number of cleavage planes.
Biodiversity is the variation in living organisms.
The inability to adapt cause extinction as if a species is unable to adapt to a new environment or climate, they will eventually perish due to not finding new methods of survival.
You can observe environmental changes that are forcing adaption through invasive species brought to different continents by trade.
Hope this helps!
