DNA sequencing technique runs through database so it can compares all the sequenced information and finds similarities.

Every pathogen either virus or bacteria has its own specific DNA and DNA sequencing recognizes similarities while study sequence of nucleotide.

Further explanation

DNA sequencing

It is a phenomenon in which a piece of DNA is taken and its nucleotide bases (guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine) are determined. It is useful to study genetic information of an organism. Earlier technique of RNA sequencing was used.

Invention of DNA sequencing

Frederick Sanger was the first person who used this technique and was invented in 1970s. This technique is used in various field of biology such as molecular biology, Medicine, evolutionary biology, biotechnology and forensics.

Advantages of DNA sequencing

 It provides accurate information

 Genome remains same throughout life so it is done once in life

 It is not an expensive method so we can say that it saves money

 Genomic information can be obtained which is required for various purposes as health care

 Identify defective genes

Disadvantages of DNA sequencing

 It is a very time taking technique

 It cannot detect translocation, deletion and insertion

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst. The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.

The fetus development continues until birth.

Describe the origin and fiber composition of (1) ventral and dorsal roots, (2) the spinal nerve proper, and (3) ventral and dors

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A dorsal root (sensory or afferent) and a ventral root (motor or efferent) originate from the medulla. They unite near the intervertebral foramen, forming the spinal nerve. The nerves emerge from the intervertebral foramen, dividing into ventral and dorsal ramus.

Explanation:

The nerve is a set of nerve fibers perceptible to the naked eye and wrapped in connective tissue. They are made up of roots, trunks and nerve branches (some of them come together and form plexuses).The spinal nerve originate from the spinal cord in the form of 31 pairs: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal. They emerge from the spinal cord through two roots: dorsal roots, made up of sensory fibers that come from the sensory neurons of the spinal ganglion and that penetrate the spinal cord through the posterolateral and ventral root, made up of motor fibers, coming from the motor neurons of the anterior horn and visceral of the lateral horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord. This root exits the spinal cord through the anterolateral groove, then joins the posterior root to form the spinal nerve, which exits the vertebral canal through the corresponding intervertebral foramen.Each spinal nerve, after leaving the vertebral canal, emits two primary ramus: the dorsal ramus, contains somatic and visceral fibers that go to the skin and muscles of the back and the ventral ramus, which supplies the ventrolateral surface of the skin, body wall and extremities.

What is the difference between a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle?

Sav [38]

<span>Both cycles are methods of viral reproduction. Both cycles involve the introduction of the virus into a cell to use the cell's genetic material to replicate more viruses.

Hope this helps.
