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.

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.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Glaciers that once covered South Africa have melted and can no longer form.

Explanation:

The Karoo Supergroup that formed hundres of millions of year ago covered the most part of South Africa. The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole

The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.
