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.

Answer:

Pleurisy

Explanation:

Pleurisy is a medical condition caused by the inflammation of the pleura membranes. The pleural membranes are vital part of the respiratory system. These membranes which surround the lungs and lines the inner chest wall, help to give cushion and reduce friction in the lungs. When the pleural membranes become inflamed, the surfaces become tough and sticky, thereby causing the sharp pain the person feels in the chest while breathing.

Which of the following correctly identifies the types of cell division describe in rows x and y
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B. Row x describes meiosis and row y describes mitosis

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides to yield two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. </u></em>The process takes place in the somatic cells or the body cells. For example, a cell with 14 chromosomes divides to produce two cells with 14 chromosomes.
  • <em><u>Meiosis on the other hand is the process in which a cell divides into four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.</u></em> The process takes place in the germ line cells where gametes are produced. For example a cell undergoes meiotic division to produce four cells each with 7 chromosomes.
