Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"You determine that you have only 3 copies left of an important DNA fragment, so you decide to amplify it. Using flanking primers, how many PCR cycles would you have to run to generate over one billion (10^9) copies of the fragment?
"
Answer:
Approximately 29 cycles of PCR would be required.
Explanation:
As you may already know, PCR is a technique used in molecular biology that allows part of a DNA molecule to be recycled into millions of copies.
PCR allows this replication to be done through cycles. Each PCR cycle lasts about 2 minutes and allows the DNA molecule to undergo the separation of the strands, the binding of the primers and the synthesis of new DNA strands through DNA polymerase. This cycle is usually repeated 32 times, but this number may change depending on the number of copies the researcher thinks is necessary.
In this case, if a researcher wants 10 ^ 9 copies of DNA, he must do the following calculation to find the number of PCR cycles needed:
32 ^ x = 10 ^ 9
x = 28.3 = approximately 29 cycles.
It depends on the weight of the sediments.
Answer:
Option D, the "biological ladder"
Explanation:
The food chain is the network of organism in which all are dependent on each other for their food, energy source and survival.
The circle of life depicts the time frame starting from origin of a life form till its death and the intermediate stages.
The tree of life basically determines which organism has evolved from which other organisms.
The biological ladder represents the development of species from simple form to a much complex form.
Hence, option D is the right metaphor
The earliest forms would be plants and other life like that, and current day would be mostly humans and animals and a lot of plants are disappearing
i think false because they can help with another animal and there population decrease
