Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method by which a target DNA fragment is amplified to produce millions of copies. In PCR, the Taq polymerase enzyme uses nucleotides and primers to replicate a small DNA segment <em>in vitro</em> and produces two DNA molecules. The newly formed DNA molecules are denatured by heating to facilitate their replication to produce four double-stranded DNA molecules. In this way, the number of DNA molecules is doubled in each cycle. Therefore, the small amount of DNA obtained from the minuscule spot of blood on a murder suspect’s shirt can be amplified using PCR.

Two heterozygous dominant parents for attached earlobes are crossed to predict the traits of their offspring. What is the ratio
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A - 3:1

Explanation:

In order to determine what number of offspring will have attached earlobes, we must make a Punnett table. We know that attached earlobes are the dominant gene, and we know unattached earlobes are recessive.

| P | p

——————-

P | PP | Pp |

——————-

p | Pp | pp |

As we can see, only one out of the four squares has two recessive genes. Therefore, our answer would be A - 3:1.

You are viewing a pedigree and trying to determine the inheritance pattern of a trait. List three characteristics that, if obser
harina [27]

Answer:

X linked inheritance is one of the mechanisms of the inheritance which is associated with the mutation of the gene present on the X chromosome.

The characteristics of the X linked recessive inheritance that must be observed in the pedigree analysis will be-

1. X linked trait is always passed from the mother to the sons (females to males)

2. The males (XY) are usually affected by the gene as only one copy of the recessive gene in males can show its effect.

3. Females are the carrier of the disease but they are not affected by the condition.
