Microscopic analysis is the most reliable method of matching hair samples to a suspect. True False

Biology
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is <em>false</em>.

Explanation:

Although very popular in crime novels and TV shows, microscopic hair analysis isn't as reliable as it may seem. It was widely used during 1950-s and 1960-s as the best test to match a hair sample with the suspect, but modern tests proved it to be wrong. Microscopic analysis can give some information about the hair sample such as origin (human, animal or synthetic fiber), color, pigment distribution... For example, if the hair sample found was brown, and the suspect was black-haired, we could claim that he was Innocent. But if the found hair was black, does that mean that we could be absolutely sure that the suspect is guilty? Of course not, microscopic analysis can not provide evidence for that claim. On the other hand, the best method for matching biological samples, at the present time, is DNA analysis.

Phosphatases are a family of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from specific proteins; these phosphate groups had been added
guapka [62]

Answer:

Kinases would stop working too.

Explanation:

Cells work constantly to maintain homeostasis or equilibrium within themselves. One of the mechanisms used for this purpose is feedback. As mentioned in the question, kinases put phosphates on proteins, and then, phosphatases take them off. Therefore, for phosphatases to work, kinases must be working at the same pace. By inhibiting the phosphatases the number of phosphate-proteins will be too high. This can be perceived by the kinases and they will automatically stop working since there's an excess of product. That process is called feedback.

Answer:

c. single bond

b. double bond

d. unsaturated fatty acid

The rest is right :)

Explanation:

"C" is a single bond because saturated fats only have single bonds (no double bonds!)

Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, have a double bond, creating a bent shape.
