Why would it be impossible to extract dna from cooked foods?

1 answer:

7 0

DNA is bound together by covalent bonds between different molecules. It also contains proteins, which again are held together in their specific structures by covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds may be broken when high temperatures are applied. The temperatures that a food encounters during the cooking cause the DNA to be denatured, meaning it cannot be extracted. The same occurs with other proteins such as enzymes and antibodies.

Write down three problems caused by expansion or contraction.how are these problems overcome?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The problems that can be caused by Expansion or Contraction a;long with the solutions are:

Explanation:

The railway tracks made of steel expand during the summer and contract during the winter. This can cause them to become curved during the summer thereby causing rail derailment.In order to prevent this, an air gap is kept in between the railway lines so that they get the space to expand without getting curved.
The electric wires linking the telegraph posts are made up of metals and so they expand in the summer and contract in the winter, which can cause them to tear. This is why the wires are loosely fixed so that they can expand and sag in the summer and contract and tighten in the winter.
Bridges are constructed with joints where some space is maintained to allow the easy expansion and contraction in summer and winter respectively.

How might an individual's own cells lead to false verdicts of guilt.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Through a circumstance known as "secondary transfer DNA", or "Touch DNA".

Explanation:

Most times when a crime is committed, DNA samples are obtained from surfaces in the scene where the crime was committed. There is a very huge possibility of picking up the DNA of someone who was never at the scene of the crime and this is a result of a condition known as Touch DNA.

Because we touch several objects which can be moved to different locations and touch people who are also always mobile, our DNA cells can find their ways to a crime scene where we had never physically been to. This can lead to false verdicts of guilt.

Assume that in cattle a spotted coat is dominant to an even coat, short horns are dominant to long horns, and the traits for coa

kow [346]

Answer:

C. 1/4

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for the spotted coat is "S" and the one for the even coat is "s". The allele "L" gives short horns while the recessive allele "l" imparts long horns. The genotype of the cattle heterozygous for both traits would be SsLl. A cross between two heterozygous cattle would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio=

9 spotted coat and short horns: 3 even coat and short horns: 3 spotted coat and long horns: 1 even coat and long horns.

Therefore, the proportion of the progeny with long horns = 4/16= 1/4
