Solution:

Since, DNA occurs as a double strand where each A is paired with a T and vice versa, and each C is paired with a G and vice versa. The reverse complement of a DNA sequence is formed by reversing the letters, interchanging A and T and interchanging C and G. Thus the reverse complement of ACCTGAG is CTCAGGT.

And DNA has two strands: Forward and reverse. Miseq is the technique to sequence the DNA for various purposes such as mutation detection, important for disease diagnosis. Hence, one need to find the mutations in both strands rather than only the forward to strand, to prevent false positives and other artifacts.

This is the required answer.

What is enters the light cycle ? Where do they come from ? How are they used / changed ?

zubka84 [21]

In the start of the light cycle, light-dependent reactions harness energy from the sun in order to create chemical bonds. These bonds are known as ATP and NADPH. These are the molecules that carry energy which are made in the stroma. The stroma is where the Calvin cycle takes place.

Why is chlorophyll not able to capture the energy in green light

mariarad [96]

All plants have chlorophyll-a which blocks(reflects) green light and absorbs red and blue wavelengths. It seems like it would be more efficient for plants to absorb green light since energy is most powerful from the sun through green wavelengths. However, the chlorophyll-a in chloroplasts actually defend the plant from harmful damage of the TREMENDOUS amount of power from the sun transmitted in green wavelengths.

SO CHLOROPHYLL-A PROTECTS PLANTS FROM TOO MUCH ENERGY IN GREEN LIGHT.

Which system covers and protects the tissues of the body from UV light and from infections due to bacteria and viruses?

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

integumentary system

Explanation:

The integumentary system is an organ system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. The skin is only a few millimeters thick yet is by far the largest organ in the body. The average person’s skin weighs 10 pounds and has a surface area of almost 20 square feet. Skin forms the body’s outer covering and forms a barrier to protect the body from chemicals, disease, UV light, and physical damage. Hair and nails extend from the skin to reinforce the skin and protect it from environmental.
