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.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Karl Woese was an biophysicist and microbiologist. He was known as the originator of rRNA sequences in 1967.

Karl determines the 16rRNA sequence by the technique pioneered by Woese. He breaks the prokaryotes into two groups and discovered the third domain of life.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

Explain the importance of covalent bonds in four macromolecules
nikitadnepr [17]

Covalent bonds is important in four macromolecules such as proteins (polymers of amino acids), nucleic acids (polymers of nucleotides), carbohydrates (polymers of sugars) and lipids (with a variety of modular constituents) because they served as a basic structure of macromolecules.

 In addition, the resulting covalent bond is a result of sharing a pair of electrons, one from each atom or molecular units.
