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?
Biology
1 answer:
enyata [817]3 years ago
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.

shusha [124]

Answer: 6

Explanation:The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom is known as Atomic Number. Atomic Number helps in determining the chemical properties of an atom. Thus it is given that the given ion contains 6 protons thus the atomic number of the ion will be six. hope this helps

What kinds of advantages, in terms of evolutionary fitness, do cooperative behaviors provide among different species of non huma
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Throughout the overview segment elsewhere here, the benefits including its particular circumstance are listed.

Explanation:

  • Being willing to hunt with either a community relatively successfully, thereby increasing their likelihood of succeeding as well as physical inactivity.
  • Selective pressures such as illness as well as predators will assist to evolve altruism because grooming allows the person to have been groomed first, but also protects diseases from being transmitted through lack of hygiene.
  • Grooming encourages people to bond, which enables less friction and increases development by increasing security.

1. Two genetically identical copies of DNA

2. Finds an error in DNA, removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.

3. It is used as a copy/ "template" for replication in order to have two identical copies of DNA.

4. DNA helicase unwinds DNA double helix and Topiosomerase ensure there isn't too much unwinding.

5. Replication has a built on proofreading system - DNA polymerase removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.
