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

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.

#1 The subatomic particle that is neutral is the _____.
Viefleur [7K]

The subatomic particle that is neutral is the Neutron. (An) electron is a negatively charged particle

According to modern atomic theory, the proton can't move from one energy level to another

With the work of the English chemist John Dalton, the current atomic theory, which has continuously undergone refining, started to blossom at the beginning of the 19th century.

The modern atomic theory holds that atoms are no longer indestructible and now contain electrons, protons, neutrons, and other sub-particles. Isotopes are variations of an element's atoms that can exist.

The concepts of atoms and how they create matter are established by current atomic theory. Atoms are composed of negatively charged electrons revolving around a core nucleus made up of electrically neutral neutrons and more massive positively charged protons.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Fill in the both blanks: In skeletal muscle, DHP receptors are found in the____ membrane, while ryanodine recep
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Row 1

T-tubule

Dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors of the transverse tubule membrane play two roles in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle: (a) they function as the voltage sensor which undergoes fast transition to control release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum, and (b) they provide the conducting unit of a slowly ...

Row 2

Sarcolemma

Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are located in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum membrane and are responsible for the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores during excitation-contraction coupling in both cardiac and skeletal muscle.

The right answer is: The antibodies mistakenly identify the cells as foreign material.

The role of an antibody is to recognize a foreign antigen in order to neutralize it. They can achieve this thanks to the great specificity of their paratope, which recognizes only a very precise part of the antigen: the epitope. As soon as an antibody recognizes an epitope, the B lymphocyte that codes for that specific antibody multiplies and matures in order to synthesize the same antibodies, useful in large quantities.

The phenomenon described in the question is an autoimmunity mediated by autoantibodies.

An autoantibody is an antibody produced by the immune system and directed against one or more proteins of the individual himself

Many autoimmune diseases are due to the presence of these autoantibodies, but the presence of autoantibodies is not necessarily synonymous with such a disease.

Some scientists say that they could have a beneficial role in cleaning up cell debris resulting from a disease.

The way in which these autoantibodies are produced, their precise role, and the reason why they decrease in individuals with certain diseases, are all issues that remain unresolved.
