Answer:

1. DNA identification by PCR

2. Forensic entomology

Explanation:

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is the most widely used technique in molecular biology to identify DNA samples, and it is a method regularly used in criminal cases. The PCR technique enables the amplification of specific genome regions by using a set of oligonucleotides (primers) that pair with the sequence of interest and a Taq polymerase that synthesizes DNA copies that are specific of the person to be identified. PCR reaction consists of several rounds of amplification in order to obtain sufficient DNA product to visualize it.  

Forensic entomology is used in criminology to determine the time period between the discovery of a human body and the time that colonization by insects occurred, thereby providing an estimation of the post-mortem interval in human bodies. In addition, this technique can be used in abuse and other types of criminal cases because insect colonization also provides useful information about the nature of the decomposition processes in one crime scene.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A = 4000 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life = 2000 years

Total mass = 100 g

Mass remain = 25 g

Time taken to reduces to 25 g = ?

Solution:

At time zero = 100 g

At first half life = 100 g/2 = 50 g

At 2nd half life = 50 g / 2 = 25 g

Time taken:

Half life = Time elapsed / number of half lives

2000 years = Time elapsed / 2

Time elapsed = 2000 years × 2

Time elapsed = 4000 years

The mineral that assists with bone health, muscle contraction, and blood clotting is ___. the mineral that assists with bone hea
Lelu [443]

The right answer is Calcium


99% of the calcium is located in the bone, ensuring the skeletal strength and the hardness of the teeth.

In children and adolescents, it promotes bone growth; in young adults, it participates in the maintenance of bone capital; in the elderly, it contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Beside the bone, calcium has other functions like blood coagulation, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, activation of certain enzymes.

Adequate calcium intake - consistent with the recommended dietary intakes - would have a preventive effect against high blood pressure.
