What ar the answer choices?
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is "9 cycles".
Explanation:
The minimum number of cycles necessary to replicate a fragment of DNA over 500 times is 9 cycles. In Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, the fragments of DNA are doubled in each cycle. This means that after "n" cycles, the total number of fragments is given by the equation 2^n. In this case, after 9 cycles a total of 512 DNA fragments will be obtained, because 2^9 is equal to 512.
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
Let's assume that the recessive allele "p" imparts diseased conditions in the homozygous genotypes. The genotype of each of the carrier parents would be "Pp". A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in the following phenotype ratio=
Pp x Pp= 3/4 Normal : 1/4 Affected.
Therefore, there are 1/4 or 25% chances for this couple to have a child with PKU.
