Answer:
The correct answer is <em>A. real-time PCR can measure the amount of DNA amplified as the reaction proceeds, while standard PCR cannot.</em>
Explanation:
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a molecular biology technique. Conventional PCR and real-time PCR are diferent types of PCR, and are both used to exponentially amplify DNA molecules. In both types, a polimerase enzyme is employed to sinthesize DNA copies. The main difference is that conventional PCR is qualitative whereas real-time PCR is quantitative. So, real-time PCR permits not only to detect and amplify DNA but also permits to perform a quantification of the target DNA. This is accomplished by measuring a fluorescence signal - which is directly the amount of DNA amplified- during the course of the reaction.
Answer:
(C RNA can catalyze biological reactions and most likely appeared before DNA.
Explanation:
From my knowledge, I believe...
RNA most likely appeared before DNA and is known to be an unstable molecule.

Answer:
the dissolved oxygen of the water decreases.
the fish need the oxygen for respiration, breathing through their gills.
Explanation:
The salinity decreasing doesn't affect the pickerel, because it's a freshwater fish. no salt needed.
more light penetrating the water just means that more aquatic weed or grasses would grow, giving the pickerel more area to spawn their eggs.
temperature increase in the summer has no affect on the fish, since the spawning happens in late winter.
There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
Tying the legs and wings of poultry against the body to make a compact unit for cooking is called trussing.
The purpose of this is even cooking an a more attractive appearance.
