The correct answer is C. Short tandem repeats are mostly different in unrelated peoples' DNA. Therefore, it is used to match the DNA of the people of the related family for identification of bodies, during a mass disaster like World Trade Centre. DNA from the nucleus is extracted in the process, and the STR containing regions are amplified and studied and can be matched with that of the relatives.

fredd [130]

Answer:

In the case study of the Chicago cyanide murder, the oxygen levels were very low which lead to the death of the cells in the body (there would be signs of dead cells in the victims' bodies).

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of all cells in the animal body, it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

When the cyanide stops the activities of the mitochondrion, each cell in the body begins to die as a result of hypoxia, which is a condition where the body or a part of the body is deprived of oxygen.

Which food is at a temperature that allows bacteria to grow well ? A) a roast at 125•F (52•c) B) hamburgers at 165•f (74•c) C) p
Lilit [14]

The correct answer is A) A roast at 125°F (52°C)

Explanation:

In general terms, bacteria thrive at warm temperatures; this means bacterial growth is lower at extremely hot/cold temperatures, but it is higher at warm or medium temperatures. Indeed, the ideal temperature for bacteria to develop and reproduce is between 4° C and 60°C. This implies from the options given the roast at 52°C represents an ideal temperature for the growth of bacteria. Also, other options include temperatures above 60°C, and therefore do not allow bacteria to grow well.
