The field in which the chemical properties, structure, location, and biological processes in the body are studied is the chemistry of life. The term chemistry of life incorporates chemistry in the life processes; the study of life processes comes under b…

Covalent and Ionic Bonds

Atoms of different elements except noble gases do not have a complete octet, so they combine with other atoms to form a chemical bond. When two atoms of the same and different elements mutually share two electrons, one by one, to form a bond between them…

Carbon Bonding

It is basically an association between two C that is formed by sharing a pair of electrons among them. Commonly, this is a single or sigma (σ) bond. Sometimes double or triple or pi (Π) bonds can also be formed. These are formed when orbitals of two C at…

Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

Alcohols are hydroxyl (-OH) group or moiety containing organic aliphatic molecule. They are produced when a hydrogen atom of an aliphatic compound is substituted with hydroxyl moiety. The general expression of alcohol is R-OH, where the R is an aliphatic…

For each response, you must first state whether you are accepting or rejecting that statement. Then,you must write a detailed explanation why you accept or reject each of the choices.PROBLEM: After playing beach volleyball on a hot summer day, Sam is sweating hard and feeling very thirsty. Afriend suggests drinking some beer to help his body replace the fluids it has lost. Which one of thefollowing statements contains the most logical and accurate response?A. Great idea! In addition to the fluid, the beer will replenish nutrients he's used up.B. Good idea! Not only will the beer replenish the fluids, but it will help remove excess salts that haveaccumulated.C. No way! Although the beer will replenish the fluids, it will cause removal of important solutes fromthe kidneys.D. No way! The beer will only intensify the problem of dehydration by suppressing ADH.E. No way! The beer may help replenish the fluids, but it will merely make him sweat even more

This practice question is from the textbook "Genetics: From Genes to Genomes". It is chapter 13, question 9. a. Which two of the breakpoints could yield a deletion? b. Write the sequence and polarity of a 16-base primer that, in conjunction with primer A, will allow you to diagnose the presence of a deletion in a patient’s genomic DNA. The evidence should be positive, not negative. (That is, you will see a PCR product whose presence and/or size is specific to the deletion; the absence of a band is not informative.) c. Which two of the breakpoints could yield an inversion? d. Write the sequence and polarity of a 16-base primer that, in conjunction with primer A, will allow you to diagnose the presence of an inversion in a patient’s genomic DNA. Your answer should show the primer that would yield the longest possible diagnostic PCR product. Your primer cannot cross any of the red lines. e. Which two of the breakpoints could yield a reciprocal translocation? (Two possible answers exist;…
