Biology
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]4 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is one simple and cheap laboratory technique used in profiling. In this case, it can be used to identify Great White Sharks using their proteins or DNA. This way, even if the fish is completely mutilated into the meat, the species can still be identified helping policies to be enforced.

DNA or proteins of a sample of suspected meat is processed and passed through gel electrophoresis. The bands that form are then compared with a standard to check if the bands match. A match indicates that the meat is from a Great White Shark.

kiruha [24]

B is the correct answer

A prokaryote cell has no distinct nucleus with a membrane and neither does it have other specialized organelle.

In a eukaryotic cell, the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes which are found within a distinct nucleus.

Examples of prokaryotes Streptomyces soil bacteria (from which streptomycin antibiotic is derived), Escherichia coli bacterium and Streptococcus bacteria (which causes strep sore throat).

Examples of Eukaryotes include protozoa such as amoeba, fungi, plants, animals and generally all  multicellular organisms.

how will the offspring be affected if one of the gametes or one of the parents carry an impaired number of haploid chromosomes?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer :Aneuploidy often results in serious problems such as Turner syndrome, a monosomy in which females may contain all or part of an X chromosome. Monosomy for autosomes is usually lethal in humans and other animals. Klinefelter syndrome is a trisomy genetic disorder in males caused by the presence of one or more X chromosomes. The effects of trisomy are similar to those of monosomy. Down syndrome is the only autosomal trisomy in humans that has a substantial number of survivors one year after birth. Trisomy in chromosome 21 is the cause of Down syndrome; it affects 1 infant in every 800 live births

Carbon is different from most other elements in that
ikadub [295]
Carbon is a very common "ingredient" of matter. The reason? Carbon can combine with itself and with many other elements to form a great diversity of compounds. The compounds can also range in size from just a few atoms to thousands. There are millions of known carbon compounds. Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds
