Answer:

3: A device that uses radioactive fluid to determine the active areas of the brain

Explanation:

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

Depending on the type of exam, the radiotracer is injected, swallowed or inhaled as a gas. It eventually accumulates in the area of the body under examination. A special camera or imaging device detects radioactive emissions from the radiotracer. The camera or device produces pictures and provides molecular information.

A standard PCR cycle includes three steps: denaturation (95°C), annealing (55°C), and elongation (65°C).
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Denaturation process: The DNA template  

Annealing process: Primers  

Elongation process: dNTPs and Taq polymerase

Explanation:

For the denaturing process, the only ingredient that is required is the DNA template that will be separated from a double helix (or double strand) into a single strand, by increasing the temperature to 95 C, (at this temperature the hydrogen bonds that keep together the double stranded break). After the double strand is denatured, the following process is annealing. For this, the required ingredient are the primers; these primers will hybridize or anneal according to the nucleotide complementarity to the single strand of the DNA. Finally, for the Elongation process, you will require the Taq polymerase and the dNTPs. The enzyme will synthesize or “generate” a new strand of DNA based on the DNA template, using the provided dNTPs in the direction 5’ to 3’.

I hope this clarify you inquiry.
