I think release of chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs) is most closely associated with sunburns. CFCs are green house chemicals that are more potent than the current greenhouse chemicals such as carbon dioxide and methane,and therefore should not be released to the atmosphere. CFCs release free chlorine which is responsible for destabilizing and destroying the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the UV radiations.
When you start the PCR amplification reaction, you have a template which has sequences where the primers will anneal. The forward primer anneals in the sense strand and the reverse one in the complementary sequence (see attached figure).
After the first PCR cycle, two types of fragments are obtained. First those which come from tha 5'-3' sequence, that are 3'-5' and will anneal the reverse primer in the following cycle. This fragments have the correct 3' end, but the 5' includes part of the template that doesn't correspond to our target (see attached figure)
Second, those fragments that come from the 3'-5' sequence, that are 5'-3' and will anneal the forward primer. This fragments also have the correct 3' end, but the 5' includes part of the template that doesn't correspond to our target (see attached figure).
Now, during the second cycle, are produced the first fragments that have the precise length of the sequence that we want to amplify (see attached figure).
So, it's not until the third cycle that the reaction starts amplifying exactly the sequence of desired length.
Answer:
Calcium
Explanation:
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. It is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of calcium ions. It regulates calcium ions in the kidney, intestine and bones.
In the kidney, is involved in the re-absorption of calcium in distal ducts and the renal collecting duct, it is also involved in activating the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin D into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol).
In the intestine, PTH is involved in the absorption of calcium, by increasing vitamin D production.
In the bone, it helps in regulating calcium levels; when serum calcium level is low, PTH stimulates the activity of the osteoclast, to produce more calcium.
The beak of a bird is important because it helps the bird eat certain foods that allow it to live. If a hummingbird did not have a long , thin beak, it would not get the flower nectar it needs. Or if a parrot did not have a large, blunt beak, it would not be able to eat hard seeds.
