What is the difference between continuous and discontinuous variation?

Discontinuous variation <span> refer to large, conspicuous differences from the parents</span>
This is where individuals fall into a number of distinct categories, and is based on features that cannot be measured across a complete range
continious variation refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
Milk yield in cows, for example, is determined not only by their genetic make-up but is also significantly affected by environmental factors such as pasture quality and diet, weather, and the comfort of their surroundings

A typical PCR program is listed below. Define what is happening to promote DNA in steps 2‐4 below amplification (i.e., what happ

In step 2: Denaturation of the double-strand occurs.

In step 3: Annealing of the primer to the single strands.

In step 4: Extension or elongation takes place in this step.

Explanation:

In the PCR program an enzyme Taq Polymerase is used because it can withstand high temperature without altering its functions.

PCR is required for the amplification of DNA into multiple copies for experimental purpose. The artificial environment is created to form new DNA molecules from the sample in question.

The first step in replication is the opening of the double helix which is done by temperature treatment in PCR. The temperature would be 90 degrees for some 30 sec to two minutes.

The next step of primer annealing would be done at 52 degrees, this is the primer melting temperature.

The elongation of the DNA strand to be synthesized will take place at 72 degrees as Taq Polymerase can withstand that temperature.

Nearly one million copies of DNA will be made after 30 cycles of PCR.

PCR products can be stored at 4 degrees for some two months.
