What would be the first step in using PCR to copy a gene?

The best answer is C - DNA is heated to separate the strands. PCR proceeds in three steps. 1. Denaturation - The DNA strands, which are bound together in the double helix, must be separated to allow replication to take place so the first step of PCR is to separate them. This is done by heating up the sample, breaking the hydrogen bonds between the strands. 2. Annealing - sample is cooled just enough to allow primers to bind to the ends of each of the two template strands. 3. Extension - DNA polymerase attaches to the primers and makes a copy of each template strand.

The human y chromosome is about 50 million base pairs long. about how many nucleosomes would you expect to find associated with
Gnoma [55]

The human Y chromosome is about 50 million base pairs long. One would expect to find 250,000 nucleosomes associated with this chromosome.

A nucleosome typically contains 200 base pairs. On dividing 50 million by 200, one would get 250,000 which would tell about the number of nucleosomes associated with the human Y chromosome.

A nucleosome is a segment of DNA that is wrapped around a core of proteins. A nucleosomes constitutes the repeating unit of a structure in nucleus known as chromatin (thread-like stained bodies present in nucleus).

The nucleosomes in chromatin appear as 'beads-on-string' when viewed under an electron microscope.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is - True.

Explanation:

Degradative pathways are the pathways that provide energy for the anabolic reactions, these are catabolic reaction. An activator protein is a protein that enhance the transcription by binding to DNA.

A transcriptional activator are bind to the enhancers or promoter proximal elements. These are the the DNA binding proteins that regulates the transcription of the DNA molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is - true.

After learning about several of the body systems, Jon tells the class that the digestive system and respiratory system have one
Valentin [98]

The correct answer is option D, that is, Jon is correct because the respiratory system removes waste from the body by ridding it of carbon dioxide when we exhale, and the digestive system removes waste from the body in the large intestine where the waste is sent and removed through the rectum.

The respiratory system functions to provide adequate oxygen for the proper functioning of the body and at the same time works to remove the waste products like carbon dioxide via the process of exhalation.  

On the other hand, the function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption. It digests the food components into smaller pieces, and helps in the absorption of nutrients from the food, the leftover undigested food, or waste is excreted out through the rectum. Hence, both respiratory and digestive system exhibits one common function of excretion of waste materials.
