Answer:
A. It is a source of genetic variation
Explanation:
The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed
Answer: DNA ligase.
Explanation:
Polymerase chain reaction is a technique used in molecular biology by scientists to make several copies of a DNA sample which enable them to take a smaller portions of it and expand it for more detailed study.
PCR mixture is premixed and contain thermostable DNA polymerase, oligonucleotides primer, four deoxynucleodide triphosphates, Magnesium chlorides, a propietary buffer.
Because these volcanic activities happen on plate tectonics.
