analysis, some organisms were found to be misclassified. Why were they misclassified?

Answer:

The classification of the organisms are done on the basis of their characteristics and differences among them. DNA sequencing is the most appropriate methods of the organisms classification.

The DNA analysis can be misleading as well. This mainly occurs in the case of analogous traits as these traits are similar to some homologous traits. The similar environmental conditions can also leads to the misleading of the organisms.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state

In a Punnett square, parent traits are written as a letter which represent what?
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B. Alleles</em>

Explanation:

The punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross. A punnet square will help us know what will be the probability for a particular trait to occur in the offsprings.

Genes might have the same or different alleles. If the alleles for a gene are similar in an organism, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If the alleles are different, then the organism is termed as heterozygous.

A dominant allele is the one which which suppresses the effect of the recessive allele. A recessive allele gets masked by a dominant allele.
