The polymerase chain reaction (pcr) has revolutionized biology and medicine, by allowing small regions of dna to be amplified up to a billion-fold over 30 cycles in a few hours. each cycle involves heating the dna to 95°c to separate the two strands, the sample is then cooled to allow primers to bind, and finally the temperature is raised to the optimal temperature for the dna polymerase to replicate the dna. this process makes use of the dna polymerase from a species of bacteria isolated from hot springs, thermus aquaticus, which grows at 70°c. human body temperature is 37°c. what would you predict about the dna polymerase from t. aquaticus compared with dna polymerases from human cells?

Charles darwin published his theory of evolution in 1859. in what way foes modern evolutionary theory differ from the theory as proposed by darwin? a) darwin inferred that individuals can evolve, but modern generic science has shown that this is not true. b)darwin inferred that individuals do not evolve, but modern genetic science has shown that this is not true. c)modern science has disproved most of darwin's original theory of evolution, because darwin knew nothing about generations and their role in heredity. d)generic studies have shown that gene expression and other factors operate along with natural selection, but most of darwin's theory has been supported by modern science.
