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.

8 0

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.

Explain how the structure of compact bone relates to its function.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Compact bone aka cortical bone is a dense, solid and rigid in which bony matrix with ground org. Substances and salts densely filled and leave tiny spaces known as lacunae. These spaces contain osteocytes also called as bone cells. Inside of these osteons there is a central canal which supplies blood vessels and nerves within bone. These vessels provide blood to the spongy bone and living cells housed within compact bones.

Structure of Compact bone: Basic unit of Compact bone is called osteon also known as haversian system. Each osteon consist of four parts.

1. Haversian canal which consists blood vessels and nerves acts as a site of hematopoiesis which is one of the functions of Compact bone.

2.lamellae are concentric rings of strong matrix consisting Calcium and phosphorus. this gives the bone its strength and hardness to bear body weight.

3.Lacunae contains osteocytes.

4.Canaliculi links osteocytes and provide route for nutrients to reach osteocytes.
