Answer:

b. polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

  • PCR is the technique that generates millions of copies of DNA starting from a small amount of template.

In this reaction, a molecule of double stranded DNA is denatured and the chains separated. Then, the single strands of DNA are hybridized with a small complementary fragment of DNA called a primer, which is then extended by an enzyme called DNA polymerase by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand. The result will be two double stranded DNA molecules. If you repeat the process many times, <u>you can amplify the original DNA material exponentially</u>, and the final PCR product will be millions of DNA molecules that can be used for testing.

  • A SNP analysis is a method that allows scientists to detect variations of a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence of different individuals.
  • Electroporation is a technique that creates temporary pores in a cell membrane, allowing the delivery of drugs or DNA to a cell.
  • Gel electrophoresis is a method to analyze the PCR product in which the DNA molecules are separated by size.

Answer:

E-You disagree because the resulting increase in phytoplankton at the surface would inhibit sunlight from penetrating into the water, thus inhibiting photosynthesis in the submerged plants.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is the process wherein nutrients specifically phosphorus and nitrogen are present in excess in a water body such as a lake. The increased concentration of nutrients promoter the growth of cyanobacteria and algae such as phytoplankton.

The increased population of phytoplankton in surface water reduces the oxygen availability and clarity of water for the organisms present in deeper layers.  Also, reduced clarity of water limits the amount of solar radiations penetrating the surface water to reach the deeper layers.

Increased nutrient levels of the lake would rather inhibit the growth of submerged plants due to reduced availability of sunlight as caused by presence of phytoplankton in surface water.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Damage to the ________ might cause problems with coordination and balance.
Nitella [24]

Answer: B. cerebellum

When the cerebellum is damage, it will result to cause problems in terms of coordination and balance. The cerebellum is very similar to cerebrum having highly folded surface and has two hemispheres. It is mainly associated with regulation and coordination of balance, posture, movement, vasomotor and respiratory centers.
