PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a relatively new advance (1980's) but it has a great impact in our lives. Specifically, in forensic science, PCR is useful in many sorts of crimes . Up until the PCR method, in order to identify a person forensic scientists would use fingerprints or some other ambiguous methods like teeth marks etc. But now, with PCR, we can compare the genetic material found on a crime scene and compare it with a suspect's genetic material, definitively concluding whether they are the same person or not. The way this works is that we collect a sample from the crime scene with DNA and then PCR amplifies the quantity of DNA in that sample. One of the apparent advantages of this method is that PCR works with even a very small sample, often not even a single cell is required. This makes crime scenes full of information. Hence, succinctly, PCR has helped modern forensic science in that:
1) its results are more definitve than traditional identification methods and subject to less ambiguity
2) it is relatively fast
3) new pieces of evidence can be of value (like some hair cells) and identify the crominal in cases that in older times would be impossible to solve.

Answer: allele, gene, DNA, chromosome, nucleus
Explanation: An allele is a variant of a gene or a different form of a gene. A gene is a segment of a DNA that codes for an RNA or a protein. A DNA is a genetic material that contains all the genetic information of an organism. A DNA is packaged and condensed into a threadlike material known as chromosome and chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.
Answer:
a.) freshwater plants may be rooted here--- Shore
b.) littoral zone--- it is the region of a lake or pond that is nearest to the shore
c.) limnetic zone--- A region of open water in lakes and ponds.
d.) alternately dry and submerged--- Intertidal Zone
e.) extends to edge of the continental shelf--- Neretic Zone
f.) generally low nutrient levels
g.) light penetrates here--- Photic Zone
h.) no photosynthesis occurs here--- Aphotic Zone
i.) benthic zone--- this is purely known as the bottom of the lakes or oceans
The correct answer is:
A. begin with the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis.
Explanation:
They both begin with a sequence of reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose particles into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also related in that through both processes, ATP is generated for the cell to use. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that transforms glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy delivered in this process is applied to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH .
