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.

In the ED, blood is withdrawn from the vein and into a test tube. The packed cell volume (RBCs) is 1.45 ml, and the plasma volum
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<h2>1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low),</h2>

Explanation:

HCT is calculated as:

HCT = Volume of red blood cells / (Volume of red blood cells + volume of plasma) x 100  

1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low), normal range for an adult female HCT  ranges from 38 to 46% (some sources claim 34.9-44.5%).

*for calculating this, one must know two of these three values: packed cell volume, total blood volume, plasma volume.

Total blood volume = Packed cell volume + plasma volume.
