Answer:

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.

Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.

Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes

Basically at fertilization, sperm and oocyte from the mother provided each chromosome ,The pair of chromosome that emerged from the diploid cell formed is called homologous chromosomes. They contain exactly alike in structure, with the same genes and the same gene loci on the chromosomes..But the allele of the genes may not be the same and their DNA sequence are different.

At metaphase of meiosis I they formed a bivalent, at Synapsis. Crossing over of genetic materials takes place at the point chiasmata, and this results in genetic variation. Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart at Anaphase 1 of meiosis and into chromatids at Anaphase II.

Sister Chromatids

These are the products of a single chromosome replication during S-phase of interphase. That is one half of each copy of the chromosome replicated. They contain the same genetic composition and same sequence of DNA;and are joined together at common centromere,

They are separated from each other at Centromere ( unlike in homologous chromosomes at synapsis,) in metaphase of mitosis. But the separation takes place at Anaphase ii of second meiotic division in meiosis.

When they paired together they form dyad, unlike bivalent formed by Homologous chromosomes.

Answer:

<h2>They provide a 3’ end for the DNA polymerase.</h2>

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an in-vitro method to making copies of a specific DNA sample in a very short time.

Polymerase chain reaction was invented by Kary Mullis in 1983.

Primers are specific to the DNA which we want to replicate and they bind to the specific sequence which is complementary to it. Primers provide a 3’ end for the DNA polymerase.

Answer:

Explanation:

The more similar the two species are, the more their niche overlaps and the more competition there is.

<em>The most interesting results obtained in animal models of passive immunotherapies developed according to the “amyloid-beta cascade hypothesis” and the “Tau hypothesis” are monoclonal antibodies that directly or indirectly target Aβ plaques or neurofibrillary tangles. Unfortunately, these therapeutic antibodies cannot replicate their promising effects on humans at the clinical phase. Despite this, we still hope to learn from these failures and to explore new pathways. The great effects obtained in animals with passive immunotherapy suggest that this technology may be an important key to curative treatment. The remaining challenge is to find a way to achieve the same encouraging results for humans. Alzheimacy expects to join hands with global partners to focus on the development of therapeutic antibodies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and continue to fight against this disease.</em>
