The forward and reverse PCR primers used for the amplification of a VNTR locus on chromosome number 4 are 20 bases and 21 bases

long, respectively. The 3’ base of the forward primer is 53 bases away from the first repeat. The 3’ base of the reverse primer is 28 bases away from the first repeat in that direction. Each repeat unit is 60 bases in length. A person has, on one of their number 4 chromosomes, 6 repeats. How long (in bp) should its PCR product be?

The repeats which occur together on a chromosome are referred to as VNTR. The length of each repeat is 60bp.

The first primer is 20bp and is 53 bp away from 1st repeat. Therefore, the total length of sequence amplified by the first primer till 1st repeat = 20+53 = 73bp. Beyond this point 6 repeats on 60 bp are present, hence, the length becomes = 73 + (60X6) = 433bp.

Now the reverse primer which is 21bp in length is located 28bp from the repeat on its side. Reverse primer comes from the opposite direction, so it must be present after the 6 repeats.

The total length of the amplified region = 433 + 28 + 21 = 482 bp.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

B or Letter B

Explanation:

Ovules are found in the ovary. The ovary can be described as the oval structure at the base of the flower.

The flower is found in the Angiosperms, that is, the flowering plants. And it is known to be the part of the plant that allow sexual reproduction to occur. The flower usually contains the reproductive parts, which include

* Androecium... This is known to be the male reproductive part of a flower, and it comprises the Anthar { this encloses the pollen grains}, and the filament.

* Gymnoecium... This is the female part of the flower and comprises of the stima, style and the ovary { encloses the ovules}.

In conclusion, the pollen grains will fuse with the ovules,[ this is known as fertilization], to form a fruit. The pollen grains can be compared to the spermatozoa in Man, while the ovules are like eggs in the woman.

Alborosie

Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.

Match the following. 1. period during the life of a cell when it has finished mitotic division G1 phase 2. period during the lif
zimovet [89]

Ans.

The cell cycle includes a series of events that results in the formation of daughter cells from a single parent cell. These events include interphase, followed by M phase. The interphase consists of three phases, G0 (Gap 0) phase, G1 phase, S (synthesis) phase, G2 phase, while the M phase consists two phases, karyokinesis (mitotic or meiotic phase) and cytokinesis. At the end of cell cycle, cell enters into G0 phase again and the cycle goes subsequently.

The sequesnce of cell cycle events can be written as follows:

G0→G1→S→G2→M→G0→G1→....

Thus, according to the cell cycle sequence, these terms can be matched as:

1. When a cell finishes its mitotic division, it enters to G0 phase, which is also known as rest phase. Thus, statement 1. matches with G0 phase.

2. The period between end of mitosis and synthesis of genetic material for next mitotic division shows G1 phase, in which cell prepares itself for division. Thus, statement 2. matches with G1 phase.

3. The period of interphase between synthesis of new genetic material and the beginning of mitosis is G2. Thus, statement 3. matches with G2 phase.

4. The period between two mitotic division is interphase. Thus, statement 4. matches with interphase.

5. The period of cell division, during which a cell is performing actual cell division is M phase. Thus, statement 5. matches with M phase.

6. The period of interphase, during which genetic material gets doubled is synthesis or S phase. Thus, statement 6. matches with S phase.
