Answer:

Asexual reproduction is also called mitosis.

Explanation:

Can two snakes have a baby turtle? Can two turtles have baby alligators? Of course not. The ability to produce exact or close copies of the original organism is important for the continuation of life. Reproduction is an important characteristic of all living organisms. Most unicellular organisms reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called mitosis. During mitosis, a single parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Multicellular organisms, on the other hand, usually reproduce sexually. A female egg is united with a male sperm during fertilization. The new organism that grows from this union has half of the father's genes and half of the mother's.

When the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify segments of DNA, the sample is first heated, and then cooled, in cyc

baherus [9]

Answer:

At least 17 PCR cycles or 16 PCR cycles

Explanation:

As we know -

In one chain of heating and cooling of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the strands of DNA gets doubled.

The general mathematical representation of this is

${2^n - (2 * n)}$

where "n" is the number of PCR cycles.

It is given that DNA strands to be produced is 16 times the original quantity of DNA.

So the PCR cycle must be carried out at least 17 times in order to have DNA strand not less than 16 times the original quantity of DNA

Why do you get thirsty after eating salty food osmosis.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

As the saltier blood circulates through the body, it makes the fluid outside of our body cells saltier than the fluid inside the cells. The cells notice the change right away. That's because the extra salt outside acts like a magnet, pulling water out of the cells.

In an ecosystem, can there be more carnivores than herbivores ?

vodka [1.7K]

There can but it will not last long. There are probably more carnivores because they were taking advantage of the supply of herbivores and now they will start to die off. So I guess my answer is no, not normally and not for a long time.
