importance of a probe
in hybridization process, molecular biologist label a short fragment of DNA or RNA, usually 10-1000 bases long tagged with a radioactive or fluorescent molecules. this fragment is usually referred to as hybridization probe.probe  important both in southern and northern blotting processed because it is  used to identify a certain sequence of DNA or RNA in a pool several sequences that have been obtained using nuclease.

process of labeling DNA sequence with a probe
after the DNA strand has been cut into several fragments using enzyme DNA nuclease, the fragments are separated using gel electrophoresis and then denatured using hcl to obtain strands. the single strand are then transferred to nylon membrane that has positive charge. the next step is where probes come in. to detect the DNA sequence of interest the nylon membrane is treated with solution containing tagged probes. since the probes have complementary sequence to the target sequence, it bind to that DNA sequence and detected later using X-ray film.

Which statement is an example of cell division at work?
dybincka [34]

Explanation:

C. A cut in skin heals

This process involves wound healing and tissue regeneration of somatic cells via mitosis.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells.

This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. This process occurs regularly in somatic cells for growth, or  to repair damaged tissue.

A Mercator projection map shows?
cricket20 [7]

Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.
