Answer:

1073741824 copies of original DNA molecules will be made.

Explanation:

PCR represents the polymerase chain reaction which is used to amplify or produce copies of DNA molecules. It constitute of three main phases which are denaturation of sample DNA molecule, annealing of primer and extension of primer.

To calculate the number of copies produced in each cycle we use the formula 2ⁿ where n represents the number of cycles. So if three main stages of the PCR process are usually repeated around 30 times over several hours 2ⁿ becomes  2³⁰ which is equal to 1073741824. That Why if  pcr cycle is repeated 30 times it will produce almost 1 billion copies of original DNA molecule.

The number of cycles of PCR are dependent on number of DNA molecules present at starting and efficiency of primer extension and amplification. The reaction will continue after starting until one of the components of PCR become deficient.

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.

What is not a protist genera that parasitizes humans?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

<h2>Chalamydomonas.</h2>

Explanation:

Protists are those organisms that are unicellular and eukaryotic in nature. They are present in diverse forms and structures and show different types of characteristics/. There are many protists that are harmful to human beings and some other organism that causes certain diseases called parasitic protists such as protozoans, trichomonas and some other. There are some protists that are not parasitic in nature such as Chlamydomonas and some other. Protists have different types of the mode of nutrition that may be autotrophic, saprophytic and parasitic and some other.
