Answer:

The correct/closest option is b

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are enzymes (endonucleases) that cut short DNA strands at specific sites. Hence, each restriction enzyme has it's own specific site (between two bases) it cuts at. There are two types of end that can be produced by this cut; the blunt end and the sticky end.

A restriction enzyme recognizes (palindromic sequence) and cut in it's own specific end.

For example, if a restriction enzyme cuts between a guanine (G) and an adenine (A), and it cuts a palindromic double stranded DNA in the manner below, it produces a sticky end.

G║AATTC

CTTAA║G

And if a restriction enzyme cuts between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) in the manner below, it produces a blunt end.

GGG║CCC

CCC║GGG

Hence, from the question, restriction enzymes (although chosen by the scientist based on desired sequence to be cut) recognize the sticky or blunt ends itself.

The melting point of Pb (lead) is 327°C, is the processing at 20°C hot working or cold working?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Cold working: It is plastic deformation of material at temperature below recrystallization temperature. whereas hot working is deforming material above the recrystallization temperature.

Given melting point temp of lead is 327° C and lead recrystallizes at about

0.3 to 0.5 times melting temperature which will be higher that 20°C. Hence we can conclude that at 20°C lead will under go cold working only.

A Carnot refrigeration cycle absorbs heat at -12 °C and rejects it at 40 °C. a)-Calculate the coefficient of performance of this

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

a)COP=5.01

b) $W_{in}=2.998$ KW

c)COP=6.01

d) $Q_R=17.99 KW$

Explanation:

Given

$T_L$ = -12°C, $T_H$ =40°C

For refrigeration

We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle that have all reversible process.

So COP of refrigeration is given as follows

$COP=\dfrac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}$ ,T in Kelvin.

$COP=\dfrac{261}{313-261}$

a)COP=5.01

Given that refrigeration effect= 15 KW

We know that $COP=\dfrac{RE}{W_{in}}$

RE is the refrigeration effect

5.01= $\dfrac{15}{W_{in}}$

b) $W_{in}=2.998$ KW

For heat pump

So COP of heat pump is given as follows

$COP=\dfrac{T_h}{T_H-T_L}$ ,T in Kelvin.

$COP=\dfrac{313}{313-261}$

c)COP=6.01

In heat pump

Heat rejection at high temperature=heat absorb at low temperature+work in put

$Q_R=Q_A+W_{in}$

Given that $Q_A=15$ KW

We know that $COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{W_{in}}$

$COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-Q_A}$

$6.01=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-15}$

d) $Q_R=17.99 KW$

Which of these are not included as part of a drivetrain

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

transmission, driveshafts, differential and axles

Explanation:

The powertrain consists of the prime mover (e.g. an internal combustion engine and/or one or more traction motors) and the drivetrain - all of the components that convert the prime mover's power into movement of the vehicle (e.g. the transmission, driveshafts, differential and axles); whereas the drivetrain does not.
