Answer:

Restriction enzymes are DNA-cutting enzymes. Each enzyme recognizes one or a few target sequences and cuts DNA at or near those sequences.

Explanation:

Many restriction enzymes make staggered cuts, producing ends with single-stranded DNA overhangs. However, some produce blunt ends. DNA ligase is a DNA-joining enzyme. If two pieces of DNA have matching ends, ligase can link them to form a single, unbroken molecule of DNA. In DNA cloning, restriction enzymes and DNA ligase are used to insert genes and other pieces of DNA into plasmids.

Aside absorbing water and nutrients, what other functions do the roots serve?

AfilCa [17]

Aside from absorbing water and nutrients in the ground, roots are also the very support of a tree. It supports bigger trees to stand and stay steady against heavy rains and strong winds. Roots are also capable of absorbing water that may cause flood in the area, and support slopes that may result to landslides. Roots are very important because it lessen the chances of soil erosion in a certain place. Roots can also be used for plant vegetations.

A) Mutation is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms which develops differences among their respective species

Explanation:

Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.

A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.

Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.

In which phase do sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell, (in 'single-file', without a homologous partner)? Group o

ipn [44]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''

Explanation:

Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.
