Answer:

The polymerase chain reaction is a method used to produce millions of copies of particular DNA.

DNA sequences are amplified to generate many copies of a specific DNA segment.

Explanation:

polymerase chain reaction is used to produce a million copies of DNA by amplifying the  DNA sequences exponentially.

PCR method was developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis.

A polymerase chain reaction occurs in three main steps.

  • Denaturing: In this step, double-strand template DNA is separated into two single strands by heating.
  • Annealing: DNA primers get attach to the DNA template when the temperature is lower.
  • Extending: with the help of the Taq polymerase new strand is synthesis which is complementary to the template DNA.

thus polymerase chain reaction is used to produce many copies of DNA of specific region of DNA.

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.
