Who is studying animals in the wild considered to be somewhat experimentally out of control

KIM [24]

Studying animals in the wild is considered somewhat experimentally out of control because of several reasons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Study of wild animals can be done using several methods but none will be as effective as studying captivated animals. Using stationary cameras is a method to observe animals in the wild. The stationary nature of the camera makes it necessary for the animals to appear within the field of the camera.

This is difficult in places of low animal density. In addition to that placing camera at a longer distance to watch a larger area decreases the resolution of the images. When it comes to shallow water systems, the field imagery used to track the aquatic species frequently gets affected by issues like sun flicker.

Unmanned aerial vehicles can also be used to track and study animals in the wild. This is good alternative but filming through dense canopies or turbid water is a limitation. Bio loggers can also be used for animal tracking but it is limited by weight since it has to be carried by animals.

kicyunya [14]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"You determine that you have only 3 copies left of an important DNA fragment, so you decide to amplify it. Using flanking primers, how many PCR cycles would you have to run to generate over one billion (10^9) copies of the fragment? "

Answer:

Approximately 29 cycles of PCR would be required.

Explanation:

As you may already know, PCR is a technique used in molecular biology that allows part of a DNA molecule to be recycled into millions of copies.

PCR allows this replication to be done through cycles. Each PCR cycle lasts about 2 minutes and allows the DNA molecule to undergo the separation of the strands, the binding of the primers and the synthesis of new DNA strands through DNA polymerase. This cycle is usually repeated 32 times, but this number may change depending on the number of copies the researcher thinks is necessary.

In this case, if a researcher wants 10 ^ 9 copies of DNA, he must do the following calculation to find the number of PCR cycles needed:

32 ^ x = 10 ^ 9

x = 28.3 = approximately 29 cycles.

Drag the pink labels onto the pink targets to identify the two main phases of the cell cycle. Then drag the blue labels onto the

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

There is no diagram provided so I will just explain the mitotic cell cycle.

Here’s a quick basic arrangement in chronological order interphase, mitosis, and finally cytokinesis.

So first you start with interphase which consist of three phases G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase. Cellular growth occurs in G1 phase of interphase this is followed by S phase which is simply when DNA replication occurs. Final this is followed by G2 phase or further growth in preparation for mitosis and/or meiosis.

I am only going to explain mitosis but just so I don’t confuse you meiosis can also follow interphase. So mitosis consist of four phases. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Prophase: in this phase the nuclear membrane would dissipate and the chromosomes would condense.

Metaphase: then in metaphase the chromosomes would align in the center of the cell and spindle fibers or microtubules would began growth from the centrioles.

Anaphase: by the start of this phase spindle fibers would have attached themselves to the chromosomes kinetochores. In this phase the chromatids would separate and that’s really it as you can tell this is the shortest phase in mitosis.

Telophase: finally the chromosomes would be brought to the polar opposite ends of the cell and the nuclear membrane would reform. Also the chromosomes condensed chromosomes would unravel eventually they would be invisible.

Finally the cell would enter cytokinesis were it would split at the cleavage furrow which would have started in anaphase of telophase, all a cleavage furrow is, is microfilaments “pinching the cell” which is just them pulling on either side of the center of the cell.

Which type of solution would cause a bacterium with a weak or damaged cell wall to burst as water moves into the cell? view avai

Ber [7]

A hypotonic solution<em /> would cause the bacterial cell to lyse or burst. This happens via osmosis. When the concentration of solutes is higher inside the cell, water will move towards that higher concentration because it tries to balance things out. When a lot of water gets into the cell and it can no longer handle it anymore, it will burst or lyse.
