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.

Which of the following would not be examples of a gland functioning as part of the endocrine system?
Gre4nikov [31]

Endocrine glands are those that release regulatory chemicals inside the body.  Choices A, B, and D are examples of endocrine glands.  C mentions sebaceous glands, which are found in the epidermis of the skin and secrete sebum (skin oils) onto the surface of the skin.  They have no regulatory function, other than to lubricate and protect the skin.  Sebaceous glands are exocrine glands, and are not part of the endocrine system.

Dolphins are able to sleep without drowning because they have gills, like fish do. have a special opening that allows air in but
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

They sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation:

Dolphins are different from fishes that can breathe underwater.

It is necessary for them to get to the surface of the water at intervals to breathe air.

While sleeping, dolphins allows one hemisphere of their brains fall asleep while the other half is fully conscious. This means that If the left brain is sleeping, the right eye stays open and if the right brain is sleeping, the left eye stays open.

This happens so they always know when it's time to surface and breathe and when to escape when there is trouble.
