r biologist sets up a PCR reaction containing 5.0 µl of primer mixture, 1.0 µl of dNTPs, 1.0 µl of Taq polymerase, 10.0 µl of 5X buffer, 20.0 µl of extracted DNA solution, 3.0 µl of 25 mM MgCl2 and 10.0 µl of sterile water. What would be the final concentration in mM of MgCl2 after the components are mixed?

Answer:

1.5 mM

Explanation:

<u>PCR mix</u>

  • 5 µL Primers
  • 1.0 µL dNTPs
  • 1.0 µl Taq pol
  • 10.0 µl of 5X buffer
  • 20.0 µl DNA
  • 3.0 µl MgCl₂ 25mM
  • 10.0 µl H₂O

Total volume = 50 µL

<u>We can use the dilution factor (df) to calculate the final concentration of MgCl₂</u>

<h2>\frac{Initial\ concentration}{dilution\ factor}  = final\ concentration</h2>

The dilution factor can be calculated as the final volume divided by the sample volume.

  • Final volume = 50 µL of PCR mix
  • Sample volume = 3 µL of MgCl₂
  • Dilution factor = 50 µL / 3 µL = 16,67

<u>The final concentration of MgCl₂ in the mix will be:</u>

\frac{25\ mM}{16.67} = 1.5\ mM

dedylja [7]
<span>In one sample, the potatoes that have more sugar will also have more water that will diffuse into them. Potatoes are hypertonic in relation to pure water,simply put, they will gain extra water weight as well as displace more water than potatoes that are lower in sugar. In a separate sample, potatoes that have a higher concentration of sugar will also lose far less water due to their lack of hypotonic nature. Those with lower sugar will easily loose more water.</span>

High-energy electrons are transported from chlorophyll to other molecules in the chloroplast by
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C.electron carriers such as NADP⁺.

High energy electrons are transported through electron transport chain embedded in a thylakoid membrane in order to produce energy rich compounds such as ATP and NADPH.

It is also called as light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. It includes four major protein complexes: photosystem II, photosystem I, cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthase.

The electron first gets excited from chlorophyll a present in the reaction center (P₆₈₀ and P₇₀₀) of two photosystems (PS II and PS I) . The electron in PS II is replenished by photolysis of water.

Different electron carriers (such as plastoquinone, plastocyanin, pheophytin, chlorophyll A₀ etc) are present which help in transferring this high energy electron from one complex to another. NADP⁺ is the final acceptor of the electron and gets reduced to NADPH.

NADPH and ATP are then used in dark reaction in order to fix carbon into sugars.

If you were to try and pair a thymine with a cytosine (a non Watson-Crick base pairing), then would you expect to see any stabil
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes, two hydrogen bonds could form between thymine and cytosine.

Explanation:

Cytosine is a pyrimidine base found in both DNA and RNA, and Thymine is a pyrimidine base found in only DNA. Electronegative Oxygen and Nitrogen atoms with free lone pairs are potential hydrogen bond acceptors. Hydrogen atoms attached to very electronegative atoms like Oxygen and Nitrogen have strong partial positive charge and are potential hydrogen bond donors.

One hydrogen bond could form between the C4 carbonyl group on thymine which is a hydrogen bond acceptor and the C4 amino group on cytosine which is a hydrogen bond donor. Also, another hydrogen bond could be formed between N3 of thymine which is a hydrogen bond donor and the N3 of cytosine that is a hydrogen bond acceptor.

It is important to note that hydrogen bond cannot be formed between them because the C2 carbonyl groups found on both bases are both hydrogen bond acceptors.
