balandron [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To reduce heat loss

Explanation:

During cold weather, small animals like hedgehog survive by hibernating. During hibernation, the hedgehog go into a deep sleep and the metabolic rate falls to the minimum required for maintaining the vital activities of the cells. The body temperature is maintained at a lower level typically at about 18 c. These reduces heat loss.

A scientist wants to begin making a DNA fingerprint, but she has only a very small DNA sample. What should her next step be
azamat

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.

Investigators wish to purify an enzyme—a serine protease—using affinity chromatography. They attach to the matrix of an affinity
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

After this treatment, the investigators should expect to get a mixture of the desired enzyme, plus fragments of the peptide used to desorb the enzyme in question.

This would be the result of using a peptide as a desorption solution when the desired protein is a protease,

Assuming that the protease retains its activity in the medium in question, and that the peptide can act as a substrate (which would make sense), as the peptide solution is added, it will interact with and bind to the antibody, but some molecules will also interact with the active site of the enzyme as it desorbs and passes through, culminating on the elution of the hydrolized part of the peptide along with the enzyme.
