Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

These components are not sufficient to successfully perform a PCR reaction. Deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP) are missing so that the PCR reaction can occur perfectly.

The PCR technique allows a specific fragment of the DNA molecule to be amplified thousands of times in just a few hours. This technique revolutionized research in molecular biology because it had taken a long time for DNA amplification. From PCR it is possible to obtain enough copies of a part of DNA to detect and analyze the sequence that is the target of the study.

For a PCR reaction to be performed a solution with some components must be prepared. These components are:

  • Magnesium chloride buffer (to optimize reaction and act as a cofactor for polymerase)
  • Forward and reverse primers (to customize the start of the enzyme reaction)
  • DNA polymerase (Enzyme required for replication of desired DNA region.)
  • DNA Template (the DNA to be copied)
  • PCR-grade water
  • Deoxynucleoside triphosphates: dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP (act as bricks in the construction of DNA molecules).

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.

What is the correct type of circulatory system for members of class Reptilia?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Closed the first one

Explanation:

In amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, blood flow is directed in two circuits: one through the lungs and back to the heart, which is called pulmonary circulation, and the other throughout the rest of the body and its organs including the brain (systemic circulation).

most mammals, have closed cardiovascular systems. The two main circulation pathways in invertebrates are the single and double circulation pathways.
