Answer:

a) 12 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is 22.990, which can be rounded to 23 and is the combination of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is 11 (protons), and 23-11=12, whoch would be the neutron number

Hope this helps :)

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!! <br> I really need help
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Hi, there the answer is

C.It is a frameshift mutation that changes many amino acids.

Explanation:

Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion of the single Adenine nucleotide will disrupt the reading frame of the gene (frameshift mutation), such that it is no longer evenly divisible by three.

Thus, resulting in a completely different translated protein from the original.

Hope this helps :)

BRAINLYEST IF CORRECT! 2 QUESTIONS. HELP FAST PLEASE!!
Slav-nsk [51]

Q5.

<span>The answer is A. In thermodynamics, the first law of conservation states that energy can never be destroyed or created but can only be transformed from one form to another. Therefore part of the electric energy was converted to light energy while the other dissipated as heat. However, the summation of the energy of these tow outputs in joules remains the same as initial electric energy.

Q6

<span>The answer is B. This is because the water in the dam is used to turn turbines hence this form of energy is mechanical energy. As the turbines turn, they turn electromagnets that convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy</span>

Why choose that gene for PCR in the bacterial identification lab?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Background

During the course of a bacterial infection, the rapid identification of the causative agent(s) is necessary for the determination of effective treatment options. We have developed a method based on a modified broad-range PCR and an oligonucleotide microarray for the simultaneous detection and identification of 12 bacterial pathogens at the species level. The broad-range PCR primer mixture was designed using conserved regions of the bacterial topoisomerase genes gyrB and parE. The primer design allowed the use of a novel DNA amplification method, which produced labeled, single-stranded DNA suitable for microarray hybridization. The probes on the microarray were designed from the alignments of species- or genus-specific variable regions of the gyrB and parE genes flanked by the primers. We included mecA-specific primers and probes in the same assay to indicate the presence of methicillin resistance in the bacterial species. The feasibility of this assay in routine diagnostic testing was evaluated using 146 blood culture positive and 40 blood culture negative samples.

Explanation:

Results

Comparison of our results with those of a conventional culture-based method revealed a sensitivity of 96% (initial sensitivity of 82%) and specificity of 98%. Furthermore, only one cross-reaction was observed upon investigating 102 culture isolates from 70 untargeted bacteria. The total assay time was only three hours, including the time required for the DNA extraction, PCR and microarray steps in sequence.
