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.

Which statement describes the current theory about the relationship between the human population and mass extinction? The human
Flauer [41]
<span>The human population is increasing, so the likelihood of a mass extinction is also increasing.

The human population is increasing, and historically, as human population has increased, species have gone extinct. As human population increases, and also destroy more habitats to pay for higher standards of living, the probability of mass extinction increases. </span>

<span>The trilobites seen in this image was once found widespread in the ocean. Something Changed To Limit and finally abolish their success. What do scientists use this example as proof of ? The answers are A. life changes over time and B. Vesitigial organisms once had a function in ancient times.The trilobites first appeared in the Cambrian period and though they entered a decline int the Devonian period, some of them survived until Permian time or for a period of 270 million years. They were divided into 3 segments and were early examples of arthropods. They tended to live on or near the bottom of the oceans and were scavengers in part and as well as living on the ocean floor some swam and fed on plankton. </span>
