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.

tatiyna

Answer:

facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the process of movement of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion. The movement of molecules and ions in passive transport occurs due to a concentration gradient.

Why is species diversity important in an ecosystem?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

you must have diversity to have an ecosystem, If you only have one organism that is considered a population.

Ms. Jones brought this rock to her science class and instructed her students to explain how it was formed, which explanation is
Ahat [919]

A . Leaves were trapped between layers of sediment millions of years ago, causing the imprint

Explanation:

The only true explanation that perfectly describes the rock is that the leaves were trapped between the layers of sediment millions of years ago causing the imprint.

Leaf imprints are often referred to as trace fossils.

  • Trace fossils points to the different life activities an organism must have been engaged in.
  • When a leaf is trapped in a soft sediment between two layers, the compaction of the sediment can duplicate the form of leaf on beds.
  • This gives a physical overview to the nature of leaf.
  • Such an imprint did not grow, and cannot be attributed to metamorphic processes(option D).
  • Option C is completely wrong
