Sounds like a trick question.

Maybe not. contamination is easy, but gloves are a barrier between other organic material on yourself (such as what you ate for lunch) and what you are testing.

Other than the fact your DNA will be different than another person’s DNA, if we assume you are theoretically free of debris of any kind, then your DNA would test the same always.

Note: any contamination after purifying extract for a small sequence can give false positives. There are repeat sequences possible that would interfere if you are testing a small enough sequence.

I hope that helps!

You are studying a protein that you call Protein X. There is an aspartic acid at a key position in Protein X which is important
Sonbull [250]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The same type of amino acid, means acidic amino acid substitution will leads to normal folding.

The amino acid will be glutamic acid.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Sometimes the amino acids of the same type substitution leads to normal proteins.
  • As the acidic group of aspartic acid is responsible for the folding of the protein .
  • So if the amino acid is substituted by glutamic acid, it will not leads to any abnormal protein folding.
  • Because glutamic acid also has a acidic group which is responsible for folding of protein.

What are brownfields​
Daniel [21]

The lands which are lef unuse after  it is affected by environmental contamination.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Brownfields are abandoned or unused fields where reuse is hindered by real or observed environmental contamination. The places may include localities destroyed by hazardous materials, petroleum or mine-scarred land.
  • Brownfields are found in a city or town's manufacturing section, on areas with discontinued factories or industrial buildings, or other earlier contaminating operations like steel millhouses, refineries or landfills. It is mainly found in urban cities where there is normally a stronger potential to redevelop these localities.
  • Some of the most frequent contaminants known at Brownfield sites are from fuels such as grease, propellant, diesel and kerosene from subterrene storage tanks, floor drains, External storage of barrels and machine, and cleaning solvents.

erik [133]
<span>I believe the answer is REM alpha sleep. Sleep is a complex  biological process that accompany various physiological changes. Normal sleep is usually classified into non-rapid movement (NRE) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM), where the stages of NREM are followed by REM sleep. REM alpha sleep is a stage of REM that is associated with unique brain wave pattern such that during REM sleep a sleepers brain waves demonstrate characteristics similar to a walking sleep, a combination of alpha, beta and desynchronous waves.</span>
