To determine:
How modern processed foods are contributing to an epidemic of obesity.
Introduction:
World Health Organization states the most basic cause of obesity is when there is ‘an energy imbalance between calories consumed and the amount expended’.
To determine:
In a typical day, what stimuli do an individual encounter that tends to make them overeat.
Introduction:
The main factor of obesity is the junk food. It’s a term used for food containing a large number of calories from sugars or fat with little fibers, proteins, vitamins and minerals. This unhealthy processed food contains excess sugars and fats which can accumulate in an individual body causing weight gain.

- If PCR was performed on the fragment of DNA shown below using "5'-TAGG-3" and "3'-TCTA-5'" as the primers, how many base pairs long would the PCR product be? To help with this, remember the antiparallel structure of DNA and that primers are complementary and antiparallel to the target sequence that they bind to.
