There are two types of pea plants: those that produce round seeds and those that produce wrinkled seeds. A single gene controls

Dominant, <span>if a dominant allele (wrinkled) and a recessive allele (round) are together, forming a heterozygous plant, any possible combination of alleles is possible when the plant breeds, so the seed with a wrinkled allele can still produce round seeds. </span>

Antibodies are composed of two types of peptides, heavy chains and light chains. One of the major classes of antibody molecules

timurjin [86]

Answer and Explanation:

a. form the antigen-binding site ⇒ both chains

The antigen-binding site is formed by one hypervariable region of the light chain (VL) and one hypervariable region of the heavy chain (VH). So, both type of chains contributes to antigen recognition.

b. contain multiple variable domains ⇒ none

Both chains - light and heavy - contain <u>only one</u> variable domain (VL and VH).

c. are found in the Fab fragment ⇒ both chains

The Fab fragment is composed of portions of both light and heavy chains: each portion contains one variable domain and one constant domain. The Fab fragment binds specifically the antigen.

d. are found in the FC fragment ⇒ heavy chains

The Fc region is composed of portions of heavy chains (CH² and CH³), so it contains constant domains.

e. contain only one constant domain ⇒ light chains

Each light chain contains one variable domain (VL) and one constant domain (CL).

f. contain multiple constant domains ⇒ heavy chains

Each heavy chain contains three constant domains: CH¹, CH² and CH³.

g. contain only one variable domain ⇒ both chains

Both light and heavy chains contain one variable domain. The difference is given by the number of constant domains: light chains have 1 constant domain while heavy chains have 3 constant domains.

Chemicals that help chemical reactions occur at

nikitadnepr [17]

(4) organic catalysts

The job of catalysts in chemical reactions is to make the reaction go faster by lowering the amount of energy needed to activate the reaction. If less energy is needed for the reaction to occur, then the reaction can go faster because a large energy build-up is not needed.

What is the most appropriate method to prepare a sample of cheek cells for PCR?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Extraction of genomic DNA

Explanation:

Resuspend the cells(any number), smaller numbers also work, in 10-20 ul of TE buffer or milli Q water. boil for 5-10 min in a waterbath, quick chill, short spin. use the supernatant as a template for PCR.

If cells are very less, u can directly add cells to the PCR reaction without enzyme,boil for 5-10 min in a waterbath, let it cool slowly, short spin. Add enzyme to the supernatant and start the reaction at extension step followed by normal PCR reaction steps.
