The best answer would be:

A. The stage during which the cell carries out normal cellular functions and makes copies of its DNA.

If you'd like to know more about it, read on:

The cell actually spends most of its life in this phase of the cycle. This is the point where the cell grows and makes copies of its DNA in preparation for cell division.

Interphase is divided into 3 steps:

G1 phase - the cell grows larger and it makes copies of its organelles. (also known as the first gap phase)

S phase - the cell synthesizes copies of its DNA that is found in the nucleus.

G2 phase - it grows more and makes proteins in preparation for cell division. The cell even reorganizes its organelles in this phase.

What is the predominant mode of asexual reproduction in a sponge?

LenKa [72]

Budding is the predominant mode of asexual reproduction in sponge. Budding is a asexual reproduction in which a new organism develop from outgrowth or from bud due to cell division at one particular site. A small rounded outgrowth on asexually reproducing organism is cabable of developing into new individual

Why choose that gene for PCR in the bacterial identification lab?

Reika [66]

Answer:

Background

During the course of a bacterial infection, the rapid identification of the causative agent(s) is necessary for the determination of effective treatment options. We have developed a method based on a modified broad-range PCR and an oligonucleotide microarray for the simultaneous detection and identification of 12 bacterial pathogens at the species level. The broad-range PCR primer mixture was designed using conserved regions of the bacterial topoisomerase genes gyrB and parE. The primer design allowed the use of a novel DNA amplification method, which produced labeled, single-stranded DNA suitable for microarray hybridization. The probes on the microarray were designed from the alignments of species- or genus-specific variable regions of the gyrB and parE genes flanked by the primers. We included mecA-specific primers and probes in the same assay to indicate the presence of methicillin resistance in the bacterial species. The feasibility of this assay in routine diagnostic testing was evaluated using 146 blood culture positive and 40 blood culture negative samples.

Explanation:

Results

Comparison of our results with those of a conventional culture-based method revealed a sensitivity of 96% (initial sensitivity of 82%) and specificity of 98%. Furthermore, only one cross-reaction was observed upon investigating 102 culture isolates from 70 untargeted bacteria. The total assay time was only three hours, including the time required for the DNA extraction, PCR and microarray steps in sequence.
