In pcr, it is important to use taq dna polymerase, as opposed to other dna polymerases. this is because taq is capable of synthesizing dna AFTER EXPOSURE TO 94° C.
Taq polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase. This means that it can withstand high temperature and is ideal in synthesizing DNA during PCR.
Taq polymerase under certain temperatures
1) optimum temperature for activity<span> is 75–80 °C,
2) with a </span>half-life<span> of greater than 2 hours at 92.5 °C,
3) 40 minutes at 95 °C and 9 minutes at 97.5 °C,
4) can replicate a 1000 </span>base pair<span> strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72 °C</span>
Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce within the cells of a host organism.
The differences between viruses and bacteria include;
- Viruses do not have any cell and are considered between living and non-living things, while bacteria have one cell (Unicellular) and are living organisms.
- Viruses are smaller in size (20-400 nm) when compared with bacteria (1000 nm).
- Viruses do not have a cell wall but a protein coat is present, while bacteria have a cell wall that is composed of peptidoglycan.
- Viruses require a living cell to reproduce, while bacteria can reproduce by itself.
- The DNA or RNA of viruses is enclosed inside a coat of protein, while that of bacteria floats freely in the cytoplasm within the cell.
Answer:
Yes Amoeba and Paramecium are considered as animal-like protists
Explanation:
Amoeba and paramecium are considered to be animal-like protists because they are able to move through their habitat, and they gain energy from other sources.
Could you please add the choices, so I can use those?
