PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is an excellent method of generating copies of target DNA. If a single piece of double stranded

DNA (dsDNA) is put into a PCR machine, how many dsDNA segments will there be after 3 rounds?

8 0

Answer: After 3 rounds, 8 segments having 2 original strands on different segments will be present.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction selectively and repeatedly copy the double stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the PCR machine.

1st round:

Single piece of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) unwinds in two seperate strands, before complementary nucleotides are synthesized to establish double helix.

2nd round:

The two dsDNA yields 4 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized

3rd round:

The four dsDNA yields 8 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized.

Therefore, at the end of 3 rounds, the two original strands will be present on the 8 different segments of copied DNA.

The main problem that your central nervous system will try to solve is how to get out of this place.

<h3>B. What is the somatic nervous system probably doing?</h3>

It is releasing stimuli so that the pupil dilates and the blood goes to the muscles, to give greater physical vigor.

<h3>ç. Which part of the autonomic nervous system is likely to be active and what is it doing?</h3>

The autonomic nervous system is a part of the nervous system that functions independently of will and consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord) to the glands, smooth muscle and heart muscle.

<h3>What are the physiological responses of adrenaline binding in the sympathetic autonomic system?</h3>

Adrenaline increases the overall activity of the heart, increasing both the heart rate and the force of contraction. The heart has β1 receptors in both contractile and specialized myocardium. When turning on, a series of cardiac effects can happen.

With this information, we can conclude that the main problem that your central nervous system will try to solve is how to get out of this place.

If a cell has 40 chromosomes, how many centromeres would it have when it is in metaphase? a. 1 b. 2 c. 20 d. 40 e. 80
Alla [95]

Answer:

Basically this depends on the type of cell division the cell undergoes.

if the cell undergoes reduction division of meiosis(n) the  chromosome number will be reduced to 20 so the centromere will be 20, However if the cell undergoes multiplication division of mitosis,(2n) the centromere will be 40, since the chromosomes number will increases and sister chromatids holding the chromosomes are held at centro mere.
