Another step in PCR requires small single-stranded DNA primers to anneal to a target sequence on denatured DNA. Two primers are

used. Ideally these primers will have similar melting temperatures. The melting temperature is defined as the temperature at which 50% of the DNA is in the single-stranded form. Which of the following primers will have the highest melting temperature?
A. GGGGAAATTTCCCC.
B. AAAAGGGCCCTTTT.
C. AAAAGGCCTTTT.
D. GGGAAATTTCCC.

Answer:

A. GGGGAAATTTCCCC.

Explanation:

When calculating the melting temperature in the DNA primers, we use the formula:

( 2 × ( A + T ) ) + ( 4 × ( G + C ) )

From the above formula; it is obvious that G and C have a greater tendency of participation when determining which DNA primers that have the highest melting temperature.

A.  GGGGAAATTTCCCC = 8

B. AAAAGGGCCCTTTT   = 6

C. AAAAGGCCTTTT        = 4

D. GGGAAATTTCCC        = 6

From the given options, we can see that option A have the highest component of G and C.

devlian [24]
Based on the diathesis-stress model schizophrenia is the result of interaction between environmental and biological/genetic factors. According to this model, when the combination of the predisposition (diathesis) and the stress (biological, social, and psychological stressors) exceeds a threshold, the person will develop a disorder.

What is the difference between a benign tumor and a<br> metastatic tumor?
den301095 [7]
A benign tumour is generally not dangerous as they grow usually within a membrane in one space. They can however grow really big in a short space of time and can cause pressure on neighbouring blood vessels which can be dangerous.

Metastatic or malignant tumours are dangerous and cancerous. After they grow, some cells break off and travel in the bloodstream to a different area of the body (usually the main organs) and forms a secondary tumour there. This keeps happening until the cancer has spread to all of the body.

barxatty [35]
<span>Proteins are large biological molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acids.  Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is decided by the nucleotide sequence of their make-up, and which usually results in folding of the protein into a three-dimensional structure that determines its job. 
    </span><span>Nucleic acids are linear polymers (chains) of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three things: a purine , nitrogenous base a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.  
    </span><span>
 Basically Proteins are chains of amino acids, nucleic acids are chains of nucleosides (base+sugar+phosphate), and the sequence of nucleic acid results in the specific sequence of amino acids in the protein, finnally determining its shape and function. </span>
