A - identical twins are less likely than fraternal twins to have similarities in regard to alcoholism. The reason why this tells us about the genetics underlying addiction is because two identical twins share the completely same genetic information while fraternal twins do not. The fact that the first two share the same and higher probability for addiction tells us that it's probably a genetic influence.
The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A student carries out PCR using the following steps: Step 1: 94°C for 1 minute Step 2: 60°C for 30 seconds Step 3: 72°C for 30 seconds After subjecting his PCR reaction to gel electrophoresis, the student sees no PCR product on the gel. What error(s) might he have made? (Select all that apply.) a. He carried out step 1 at too low a temperature. b. He carried out step 1 at too high a temperature. c. He carried out step 2 at too low a temperature. d. He carried out step 2 at too high a temperature. e. He carried out step 3 for too short a time.
Answer:
The correct answers are options d and e, that is, the student might have carried the step 2 at too high temperature, and he would have carried the step 3 for a brief duration.
Explanation:
In the PCR, step 1 is termed as the denaturation step and it generally takes place at 94 or 95 degrees Celsius. Thus, option a and b are incorrect. In step 2 of the PCR reaction, the combination of primers takes place with the template, this step is known as the annealing step. The temperatures in the annealing step are important for PCR, if the temperature of annealing is too much, it can lead to no product formation, and if it is too less than the formation of products would be non-specific.
In step 3 of the PCR reaction, the temperature is extended and the Taq polymerase enzyme is used to perform the reaction, which supplements nucleotides to the newly developed stand, at the frequency of 1 kilobase pair per minute. If the product of PCR is one kilobase or more, then a 30 seconds extension time would be not enough and the product would fail to appear. Hence, the correct options would be d and e.
