RFLP or Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism exploits the variation of homologous DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences. This technique is frequently used in different types of analysis such as genotyping, paternity tests, forensics, hereditary disease diagnostics, and many others. In diagnosing diseases, PCR is use to find the DNA of pathogens in small amounts to diagnose hundreds of genetic diseases. While in forensic investigations, PCR can give a probably ID from 20 cells.

Which describes an image that a plane mirror can make? The image is always real. The image can be either virtual or real. The im
Semenov [28]

Answer: The image formed by a plane mirror can only be the same size as that of the object.

Explanation :

A plane mirror consists of a highly reflecting surface. This surface reflects a large portion of light. One of the surfaces is polished with red lead oxide.

The image formed by the plane mirror is of the same size as that of the object. The distance between the object and the mirror is equal to the distance between the image and the mirror.

Out of given options, the correct one is (d) " The image can only be the same size as the object ".

PLEASE HELP
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

As one example, think about a building's electrical system. Suppose a mouse chewed through an electrical wire to a furnace. Without electricity, the heating system would not work. If this happened in very cold weather, the plumbing system could be affected. Water pipes might freeze and burst. If a lot of water leaked into the building's walls, its support system would be damaged. Like a building's systems, your body's systems have

Explanation:

You know that your body is made of cells. When groups of cells do the same kind of work, they are called tissues. The word tissue comes from a Latin word meaning to "weave." Cells that make up tissues are sometimes "woven" together.

You have four main types of tissues: epithelial, nervous, muscle, and connective tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body. It also lines organs and cavities. Nervous tissue sends electrical signals. Muscle tissue helps you move. Connective tissue joins bones and cushions organs.

When groups of tissues work together, they are called organs. Some

examples of organs are the heart, lungs, skin, and stomach. When organs work together, they are called systems. For example, your heart, lungs, blood, and blood vessels work together. They make up the circulatory system.

There are eleven systems in the human body: muscular system, respiratory system, digestive system, integumentary system (skin), skeletal system, circulatory (or cardiovascular) system, excretory (or urinary) system, reproductive system, nervous system, lymphatic system, and endocrine system. Each system has a special job.

All of your body systems have to work together to keep you healthy. Your bones and muscles work together to support and move your body. Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air. It also gets rid of carbon dioxide.

Think of your body as a building. A building has a plumbing system, a heating system, a cooling system, an electrical system, and a support system. If any system in a building breaks down, other systems can be affected.

What is converting the genetic code into the language of proteins?
Ulleksa [173]


This is a process called transcription and translation.

Information to synthesize a particular protein is found in DNA in the cell nucleus. This information is copied (transcribed)  onto messenger RNA or mRNA in short. The copying process is called transcription.

mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. Transfer RNA or tRNA then begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA. This is the process of translation.

tRNA then fetches amino acids that correspond to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together into a chain. This chain of amino acids is the primary structure of  the protein.

Masteriza [31]

With the sequence of the gene-coding regions of the human genome in hand and the development of newer sequencing methods, scientists are able to

1. develop new forensic tests that can help in the identification of the convict.

2. diagnose genetic diseases before their onset.

3. develop customised medicines based on the genetic profile of the patient.

4. therapeutically target the cancer causing genes (oncogenes) in the patients.

5. understand the inheritance of genes especially the rare mutations in a population.
