Answer:

the answer is 3.2 x 10⁴

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology to exponentially amplify a specific DNA sample from a small amount of DNA. For this purpose, the PCR technique uses: 1- a DNA polymerase enzyme in order to synthesize new DNA copies and 2- one pair of DNA oligonucleotides (primers) which are complementary to the ends of the target DNA sequence. During each round of PCR, the double-stranded DNA template is unwound and each strand is used to synthesize a new DNA strand, thereby forming two new double-stranded DNA molecules. In consequence, each round of PCR doubles the amount of DNA.

Use the drop-down menus to decide if an example of similar traits is likely a homologous structure or an analogous structure.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

- Bird wings and dragonfly wings are both used for flight: Analogous structure

- Clams and snails both have similar muscle structure even though the muscles do different jobs: Homologous structure  

- Human and giraffe necks both have 7 vertebrae because we are related: Homologous structure  

- The flaps of a Venus flytrap have a similar makeup to oak leaves: Homologous structure  

Explanation:

Analogous structures are similar structures that have the same or similar functions in unrelated organisms. Analogous structures aren't the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms (i.e., they were not inherited from a common ancestor). On the other hand, homologous structures are structures inherited from a common ancestor. Homologous structures may or may not have an identical function, but they are the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms and, therefore, they are genetically related.
