A sample of DNA is taken from blood of saliva. PCR makes lots of copies, or amplifies the DNA. We then add restriction enzymes to cut the DNA at palindrome sequences. We then run the DNA through gel Elecrophoresis. Each person has unique short tandem repeats that cause a unique number of cuts by the restriction enzyme. These cuts are separated by size on gel electrophoresis, so no two people have the exact same pattern. We can compare individuals banding patterns to what is found at a crime scene, taken in previous samples, in a baby, and the sample that matches all the banding patterns will be the individual.

Please help! If gastric protease was put in the intestine, do you think it could still carry out its usual function of digestion
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

An enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body. They actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life.

The enzymes in your body help to perform very important tasks. These include building muscle, destroying toxins, and breaking down food particles during digestion.

An enzyme’s shape is tied to its function. Heat, disease, or harsh chemical conditions can damage enzymes and change their shape. When this happens, an enzyme doesn’t work anymore. This affects the body processes the enzyme helped support.

Enzymes are produced naturally in the body.

For example, enzymes are required for proper digestive system function. Digestive enzymes are mostly produced in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. But even your salivary glands produce digestive enzymes to start breaking down food molecules while you’re still chewing. You can also take enzymes in pill form if you’re having certain digestive problems.
