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?

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.

The F2 generation phenotypes for each cross are shown in Table 1. (See attachment) Which of the following is the mean number per cross of F2 generation offspring that are the result of crossing over?

Answer:

B, 2.2

Explanation:

The parental genotypes are long and black vs short and white. Therefore the phenotypes that result from crossing over are long and white, and short and black. (middle two rows of the table).  If we add up the total number of offspring with these genotypes we get 6 long whites, and 5 short blacks.

The total is 11 from 5 crosses, so the mean is 11/5 = 2.2

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule. why? select all that apply.
aleksley [76]

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule because the conformations of the cycloalkanes are influenced by the torsional, angle strain, and steric strain. Cycloalkanes, which comprises more than three atoms of carbons are not flat molecules, they are puckered.  

The three and four-membered ring components exhibit angle strain and minimize the internal bond angles. The angle strain is generated when the bond angles deviate from the optimum tetrahedral angle, that is, 109.5 degree.  

Torsional strain is a resultant of eclipsing interactions, and steric strain is attained when the atoms are forced too close to each other.

Sense a dog has 78 chromosomes in their body cells and humans have 46, are dogs more complex than humans do to have a more chrom
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A carp (a kind of fish) has 104 and a rattlesnake fern has 184. Most likely neither of these is as complicated as we are (especially the fern).

These kinds of differences are out there because the number of chromosomes doesn’t have anything to do with how complicated or “advanced” a living thing is. What matters is what is on them.

Your fewer chromosomes have the set of instructions for making you and a potato’s chromosomes have the set of instructions for making a potato plant. It doesn’t matter how many pieces those instructions are cut up into.

Think about it like comparing the instructions for building a car to the instructions for building a bicycle.

Let’s say the car’s instructions are in one big book but the bicycle’s instructions are spread over five books. Making a bicycle isn’t more complicated than a car just because it is in five books instead of one. Same thing with your chromosomes and a potato’s chromosomes.

It also doesn’t always have to do with how many “pages” or even sets of instructions are in something’s chromosomes.
