In this lab, we'll be using PCR to make many copies of a small region of your personal DNA genome. It is a very bad idea to touc

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!

Analyze the data about nitrogenous base content of DNA from various species. Percentages of Bases in Five Organisms Source of DN
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

When analyzing data on the nitrogenous base content of the DNA of various species, the claims are supported by the data:

  • <em>In any one species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymine.  </em>
  • <em>In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine.  </em>
  • <em>The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA varies from species to species. </em>

<em>(options A, B and D)</em>

Explanation:

Organizing the data has to:

<u>Source of DNA      A            T            G            C </u>

Streptococcus    29.8       31.6        20.5       18.0

Yeast                   31.3        32.9       18.7         17.1

Herring                27.8       27.5       22.2       22.6

Human                30.9       29.4       19.9        19.8

E. Coli                  24.7       23.6        26.0      25.7

DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic information of each species, formed by sequences of nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.

Since Adenine and Thymine -as well as Cytosine and Guanina- are complementary, the percentage of them will be very similar in each DNA molecule.

The genetic information -which determines the physical and functional characteristics of each organism- is encoded in the DNA and is different for each species, so the percentages of nitrogenous bases vary from species to species.

In humans, hemophilia is caused by an X-linked recessive gene. A woman who is a nonbleeder - that is, she does not display the b
wariber [46]

Answer:

one normal girl

One normal boy

One carrier girl

One colour blind boy

Explanation:

Haemophilia is a sex linked feature as it is transmitted with the chromosomes determining sex.

In humans,the male has XY and the female has XX.the Y chromosome is usually genetically empty.so as mall received his Y chromosomes from his father,he cannot inherit his father's sex linked traits .but women can as they receive and X chromosomes from their fathers.so a cross between a carrier woman Cc and a normal man C result in;

XX--CC

XX--Cc

XY--C

XY--c

Ivenika [448]
Streams that flow beneath melting glaciers leave long ridges of layered sediments, known as Esker. Eskers are formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams which flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum when the glacier was slow and sluggish and after the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges.
