The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized biology and medicine, by allowing small regions of DNA to be amplified up

to a billion-fold over 30 cycles in a few hours. Each cycle involves heating the DNA to 95°C to separate the two strands, the sample is then cooled to allow primers to bind, and finally the temperature is raised to the optimal temperature for the DNA polymerase to replicate the DNA. This process makes use of the DNA polymerase from a species of bacteria isolated from hot springs, Thermus aquaticus, which grows at 70°C. Human body temperature is 37°C. What would you predict about the DNA polymerase from T. aquaticus compared with DNA polymerases from human cells?

Answer:

DNA polymerases from human cells will denature under these conditions.

Explanation:

Under the PCR conditions described, DNA polymerase from <em>T. aquaticus </em>would be more effective than DNA polymerase from human cells. This is due to the higher optimal temperature of DNA polymerase from <em>T. aquaticus. </em>

Why is the Transfer of energy and matter in a food chain only<br> about10 percent efficient?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

The quantity of energy decreases down each trophic level as only 10% of the energy at the upper level is transferred to the next level, the remaining 90% is lost as heat during metabolic process. Through the energy pyramid we can explain how energy is lost at each trophic level, the number of consumer at each trophic level that will benefit from the transfer of energy depends on the size and quality of the energy from the autotrophs

A scientist crossed two pea plants, both having the genotype RrYy. The Punnett square representing the cross is shown in the tab
Shalnov [3]
Parental genotypes: RrYy x RrYy
Offspring genotypes: RRYY, RRYy, RRyy, RrYY, RRyy, rrYY, rrYy, rryy

The conclusion is incorrect because there is a chance that the offspring may have the genotype rryy, in which it has no dominant alleles.

Why is the cell theory and the theory of evolution considered theories ?
Fittoniya [83]
A scientific theory is a broad explanation for events that is widely accepted as true. Evolution is a change in species over time. Evolution occurs by natural selection. The cell theory states that all living things are made up of cells, and living cells always come from other living cells.
