Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.

A standard PCR cycle includes three steps: denaturation (95Â°C), annealing (55Â°C), and elongation (65Â°C).

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Denaturation process: The DNA template

Annealing process: Primers

Elongation process: dNTPs and Taq polymerase

Explanation:

For the denaturing process, the only ingredient that is required is the DNA template that will be separated from a double helix (or double strand) into a single strand, by increasing the temperature to 95 C, (at this temperature the hydrogen bonds that keep together the double stranded break). After the double strand is denatured, the following process is annealing. For this, the required ingredient are the primers; these primers will hybridize or anneal according to the nucleotide complementarity to the single strand of the DNA. Finally, for the Elongation process, you will require the Taq polymerase and the dNTPs. The enzyme will synthesize or “generate” a new strand of DNA based on the DNA template, using the provided dNTPs in the direction 5’ to 3’.

I hope this clarify you inquiry.

1. Which of the following would be expected to be true of parallel universes? Choose all that apply. *

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The property which would be expected to be true of a parallel universe would be that: They would have the same laws of physics.

Discussion:

A parallel universe by definition is; a separate universe or world that coexists with our known universe but is very different from it. a realm of existence and experience that is fundamentally different from the one that most humans share; a separate reality ultimately.

PS: Plato reflected deeply on the parallel realities, resulting in Platonism, in which the upper reality is perfect while the lower earthly reality is an imperfect shadow of the heavenly.
