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.

Describe how human activities cause desertification including desertification’s impacts on soil and the role of modern agricultu
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Desertification is the destruction of the biological potential of the land and it is generally viewed as an advanced stage of land degradation. human activities also cause the process such as poor irrigation practices, deforestation, the expansion and intensive use of agricultural lands, and overgrazing.

Such human activities put enormous pressure on the land by altering its soil chemistry and hydrology. Modern agriculture causing a negative impact on the soil and land by overexploiting the biological and chemical potential of the land.
