Which step in the PCR process will be affected?

Biology

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.

ahrayia [7]

Answer: ,Option B.

The Earth's axis has a 23.5 degree tilt.

Explanation:

The Earth axis of rotation is tilted to 23.5 degrees which is relatively to the orbital plane, this lead to differences in seasons of the places on Earth at a particular time. The angles varies overtime but moon gravitational pull prevent it from shifting more than a degree. There is different in seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere because at a time one part of it exposed to the Ray's of sunlight than the other which lead how the Earth's revolve round it's axis.

Space is fought over because of territories and is limited compared to how many people and animals there are. Weather is not something that can be controlled in an experiment since it is sporadic.

Bas_tet [7]
If the patient weight is 250 lb and the doses are 0.8mg/kg/hour for 12 hours, then the total amount of theophylline needed would be:
250lb * 0.453592kg/lb* 0.8mg/kg/hr * 12hr= <span>1088.6208mg

If the solution contains 800mg of </span>theophylline for 100ml volume, then the volume needed would be: 1088.62 mg / (800mg/100ml)= 136.07ml
