Answer:

Tertiary structure

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of a protein includes the overall three-dimensional arrangement of all the atoms of a protein. The amino acid residue located far apart from each other in a protein and have different secondary structures interact and determine the overall folding pattern of the proteins.

Therefore, when any condition such as mad-cow disease causes misfolding of protein, it affects the tertiary structure of the proteins since the overall folding pattern of the protein reflects its tertiary structure.

When the brain is unoccupied, an fMRI indicates that blood continues to flow via a web of brain regions called the default network.

The default network is a web of brain regions that have activity that corresponds greatly with each other and different from other networks within the brain. The default network is active when an individual's attention is not concentrated on the external environment and it is measured with the functional magnetic resonance imaging technique (fMRI).

In your own words, describe what information the visible DNA fingerprint provides for each DNA sample
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The visible DNA fingerprint can help extract DNA which, after analysis, can accurately identify the suspect or perpetrator of the crime.

Explanation:

DNA Fingerprinting:

  • DNA fingerprinting is a molecular analysis tool that can help identify a suspect in a crime through DNA extracted from fingerprints.
  • Specific patterns in the DNA, known as polymorphisms, can be identified through DNA fingerprinting.
  • The DNA fingerprinting process involves:
  1. Extraction and purification of the DNA from the fingerprint.
  2. PCR amplification to obtain high yield.
  3. Fragmentation of the DNA by use of restriction enzymes.
  4. Gel electrophoresis analysis of the fragmented DNA.
  5. Analysis of gel to compare the size of the bands.
