Which step in the PCR process will be affected?

Biology
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago

The denaturation step in the polymerase chain reaction will be affected. As a result the DNA strands will not unwind and the DNA will not become single stranded.

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Polymerase chain reaction is used to synthesize multiple copies of DNA. The technique in molecular biology uses thermal cycling which involves steps of heating and cooling. There are three important steps in PCR.

Nucleic acid denaturation is the first step. In this step the DNA is heated to about 90°c and this causes the denaturation of the DNA. Two strands of DNA get separated. The second step is annealing in which the strands are cooled to 55°c.

During annealing the primers stick to the complementary sites on the DNA to facilitate its replication. The third step is extension in which the temperature of the mixture is raised to 72°c. The tag polymerase will start working on the DNA strands and replicate them.

If the denaturation step is not performed the speration of double stranded DNA into single strands won’t take place.

c. water fleas, diving beetles
d. heron, perch
e. one thing that could happen if all frogs suddenly died is that there would be an overpopulation of slugs, insects, and beetles. another thing that could happen would be that foxes would only rely on getting slugs for food so the slugs would soon go extinct and the plants would possibly over populate.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed

Explanation:

The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.

For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. <u>It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community. </u>
