The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a) DNA

b) AGCT

c) PCR

d) SNP

Answer:

PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is the technique which replicates and produces multiple copies of the DNA molecule artificially in a short period of time.

The PCR technique employs a variety of enzymes and all the prerequisites which are required in the DNA replication in vivo conditions.

In the given question, if the genome of the mummy has to sequence then after the collection of samples from the bones, the DNA has to replicate through the process of PCR. The samples from the different bone structures can be compared and analysed and a complete genome sequence can be analysed.

Thus, PCR is correct.

What is an important characteristic of waxes, and why is this valuable to living things?
marishachu [46]
Waxes are considered to be important to living things, because waxes are a type of lipid. Lipids are energy stored within our body, somewhat like a storage of energy. Lipids, consists of other substances, such as oil, fats and the likes. Lipids store energy, for the cells to consume whenever they need it.

(1)

Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur

Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.

Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer

Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer

Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

(2)

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.

(3)

A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.

(4)

The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.
