The <em>S. salivarius</em> is chosen because it the predominant gram positive bacteria that colonizes the oral cavity shortly after birth.
<h3>What is PCR?</h3>
Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test is a type of test that is used to identify a particular deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism.
<em>Streptococcus salivarius</em> cannot be cultured especially when the test sample is contaminated with other body normal flora.
The steps of PCR testing include the following:
- Annealing Primer to Target Sequence
- End of the First PCR Cycle
On a crime scene, the specimen that can be used for PCR testing are blood and body secretions.
PCR testing can be done on a scene with blood spills.

Answer: 12
Explanation: the reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + 38 ATP + heat
Because of the 2 glucose molecules you multiply the stoichiometry with a factor 2 so: 2 x 6 O2 = 12 O2
The nutrient is phosphorus
<h3>The phosphorus cycle</h3>
Phosphorus cycles between living components of the earth (biosphere) and the soil (geosphere).
The element's reservoir is mainly the sediments of the ocean and rocks. Phosphorus gets into the soil by weathering of rocks.
Plants are able to pick the element up from the soil and animals are able to get their phosphorus by consuming plants.
When plants and animal die, their body decomposes and the phosphorus in them enters the soil.
Thus, the cycle being referred to in the illustration is the phosphorus cycle.

<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his
spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his
lemniscus pathway. </span>
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).
Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).
