Biology
1 answer:
max2010maxim [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Metaphase 1

2. Independent assortment

3. Crossing over

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that reduces the chromosome number of the parent cell by half. It only occurs during sexual reproduction and ensures genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms.

Meiosis contributes to genetic variability when the chromosomes line up randomly at the cell plate during METAPHASE 1 of meiosis. This process of random alignment is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT of genes. Generally, meiosis is able to ensure genetic variability due to a process called CROSSING OVER. Crossing over is a process whereby nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchanges/shuffles genetic contents.

Which of the following molecules is not required for a PCR reaction? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following molecules is
natita [175]

Answer:

A Ligase

B False

C To separate the double‑stranded DNA

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to make millions of copies of a specific sequence of DNA. PCR requires deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) to synthesize new copies of the target DNA fragment, a thermostable DNA polymerase that adds nucleotides to new DNA strands, and primers that attach to complementary ends at each DNA strand. PCR has three phases: 1-Denaturation, where the double-stranded DNA molecule is heated to separate it into two single (separated) strands; 2-annealing, where the temperature is lowered in order to allow the primers to attach each DNA strand, and 3- extension, where the temperature is increased (again), and the thermostable DNA polymerase adds the appropriate dNTPs to new DNA strands. In consequence, annealing occurs at the lowest temperature. Moreover, during the denaturation stage, the temperature is increased at 90–95°C  in order to denature the DNA strands into single strands.
