According to "M9.2 Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami of March 27, 1964",

On March 27, 1964 at 5:36pm local time (March 28 at 3:36 UTC) an earthquake of magnitude 9.2 occurred in the Prince William Sound region of Alaska. The earthquake rupture started approximately 25 km beneath the surface, with its epicenter about 6 miles (10 km) east of the mouth of College Fiord, 56 miles (90 km) west of Valdez and 75 miles (120 km) east of Anchorage. The earthquake lasted approximately 4.5 minutes and is the most powerful recorded earthquake in U.S. history. It is also the second largest earthquake ever recorded, next to the M9.5 earthquake in Chile in 1960.

The map shows the epicenter of the 1964 Alaska Earthquake (red star), caused when the Pacific Plate lurched northward underneath the North American Plate.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: DNA is a polymer of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base

Explanation:

Every molecule in the human body are formed by the chains of particular substances. These components are arranged orderly as linked chains to give the structure called DNA.

The components include nucleotides—this is also considered the chemical substance in the human body which helps in the formation.

In this formation of chains, nitrogenous bases will also be linked to form a polymer of DNA.

A scientist wants to begin making a DNA fingerprint, but she has only a very small DNA sample. What should her next step be

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.

Answer:

e. derived characters

Explanation:

Any characteristic change which is transfer to the new species from ancestors but is different from the original character. It will be called as derived character.

But if the same character is transfer from ancestor to the new species this will called as ancestral character.
