DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material present inside the nucleus of all eukaryotic cells.
Samples as small as few skin cells also contain DNA and the presence of DNA in skin cells is often used to identify the DNA of a person in a crime scene.
Further, with the use of PCR technology, the small amount of DNA obtained from skin cells can be amplified into many copies.
B.) The amounts of A, T, G and C in DNA varies from species to species and C.)In any ome species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymineD.) In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine
Intellectual Property Rights are certain legal laws framed by the government of a country to ensure that the formulation, procedure of synthesis and monopoly of production of certain novel commodities remain with the inventor or discoverer of the commodities in form of patents.
According to the question, the legalization of the production of a particular pharmaceutical drug solely by the company Merck through patents prevents other companies from producing the same drug by copying the formulation of the drug from Merck.
Hence, the Merck company gets the monopolistic control on the production of the particular pharmaceutical drug and it can determine the price of the drugs as per not only its research and development costs but also as per its profit margin.
This is because Merck lacks any competitor in the pharmaceutical market as far as the particular pharmaceutical drug is concerned, who could produce and sell the drug at reduced prices.
Hence, the price of the pharmaceutical drug would be high causing the consumers to pay more and suffer losses for consuming the drug.
