jak nazywa sie proces w którego wyniku powstaja chmury : a) parowanie b) skraplanie c) krzepiecie d) topienie​
Tanzania [10]

Answer: b) skraplanie

Explanation:

As part of the hydrological cycle, water is evaporated off of the surface of the earth and turns into the gaseous form of water which is water vapor. With temperatures getting colder as you go higher, the water vapor will begin to condense into water droplets in the process called Condensation.

As this happens, the water droplets will come together and begin to form clouds. This will continue till the cloud gets too heavy for the capacity of the atmosphere and will then fall as rain.

Why are there nucleotides (A, T, G, and C) in the master mix? What are the other components of the master mix, and what are thei
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Nucleotides are the monomers used for DNA synthesis. The mix also contains a template, DNA taq polymerase, buffer, reverse and foward primer and magnesium ions.

Explanation:

A PCR master mix is a premixed solution that has all of the components for a Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This reaction is a laboratory technique that amplifies small fragments of DNA into millions of copies.

The master mix used for that contains dNTPs (nucleotides). In the DNA there are four types of nucleotides that are differentiated by the nitrogen base they have: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).

<u>Since nucleotides are the monomers that make DNA, they are found in the mix because they are the material for DNA synthesis.</u>

The reaction mixture also requires;

  • DNA template, the sequence of DNA to be amplified
  • DNA taq polymerase, a heat resistant enzyme that assembles nucleotides into a new DNA
  • Salt buffer, for an optimum ionic environment and pH
  • Oligonucleotide primers (reverse and foward), pieces of DNA complementary to the template. Each hybridizes with one of the DNA chains.
  • Magnesium ions, a catalyst required by DNA polymerase to work

Conclusion for lab report about properties of mineral
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

Most minerals can be characterized and classified by their unique physical properties: hardness, luster, color, streak, specific gravity, cleavage, fracture, and tenacity.Crystal form, cleavage, and hardness are determined primarily by the crystal structure at the atomic level. Color and density are determined primarily by the chemical composition.
