PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a relatively new advance (1980's) but it has a great impact in our lives. Specifically, in forensic science, PCR is useful in many sorts of crimes . Up until the PCR method, in order to identify a person forensic scientists would use fingerprints or some other ambiguous methods like teeth marks etc. But now, with PCR, we can compare the genetic material found on a crime scene and compare it with a suspect's genetic material, definitively concluding whether they are the same person or not. The way this works is that we collect a sample from the crime scene with DNA and then PCR amplifies the quantity of DNA in that sample. One of the apparent advantages of this method is that PCR works with even a very small sample, often not even a single cell is required. This makes crime scenes full of information. Hence, succinctly, PCR has helped modern forensic science in that:
1) its results are more definitve than traditional identification methods and subject to less ambiguity
2) it is relatively fast
3) new pieces of evidence can be of value (like some hair cells) and identify the crominal in cases that in older times would be impossible to solve.
Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that have thick cell walls which yield positive results in the Gram staining test. Lipoteichoic acid is a major component of the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria.
- All bacteria indicated in the question can be classified by the Gram staining test:
- Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria
- The genus <em>Arthrobacter </em>includes Gram-positive bacteria
- <em>Escherichia coli </em>(<em>E. coli</em>) is a Gram-negative bacterium
- <em>Staphylococcus spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
- <em>Bacillus spp</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
- <em>Mycobacterium spp.</em> are Gram-positive bacteria
- Prokaryotes can be divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea.
- Gram staining is a method used to classify bacteria, but this method IS NOT USED to stain Archaea.
- In consequence, I would not use the Gram test to stain Archaebacteria because Archaebacteria aren't bacteria (Option A is correct).
- Archaebacteria belong to the Archaea domain.

<span>Saturated fatty acids are those that have all single bonds except for the keto carbon of the carboxylic group. Unsaturated fatty acids are those that at least have one double bond between the carbons. If the fatty acid has only one double bond, it is referred to as monounsaturated.</span>
All organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually is the correct contrast to the mistaken idea of spontaneous generation
C . all the organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually
<u>Explanation:</u>
The organism could not arise only through the sexually and the asexual reproduction but it is also reproduced through the process of spontaneous generation.
The essential character is offspring is while mother supply is the only solid substrates. The reproduction also takes place by either the egg of the mother or the sperm of the father and began to grow when it is stimulated. Spontaneous generation is defined as the living creature that could arise from nonliving matter.
