5. If a plasmid is cut twice, how many fragments, or sections, of DNA will be produced? Provide a drawing to

support your response.

please help!!

4 - 1 fragment

5 - 2 fragments

Explanation:

A plasmid is a molecule of desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It has a circular shape. When you cut a circle, it is linealized. So, if you cut a circle once, you will obtain 1 line (1 fragment). If you cut a circle twice, 2 lines or fragments are produced.

Thus, the answers are:

4 - If you cut once ⇒ 1 fragment (see drawing in attachment 1)

5 - If you cut twice ⇒ 2 fragments (see drawing in attachment 2)

answer: andy garner, a 17-year-old who decided to become a human guinea pig in 1965 and go without sleep for 11 days. by the second day his eyes had already stopped focusing, and he lost the ability to identify objects by touch. by day three he was moody and uncoordinated and by the end he had trouble with short term memory and had even started hallucinating.

and a rare genetic mutation called fatal familial insomnia, where people can’t sleep at all, gets progressively worse over months or years and leads to dementia and death.

a devoted soccer fan died after staying awake 48 hours to watch the world cup, she said. ‘while his untimely death was due to a stroke, studies show chronically sleeping fewer than six hours a night increases stroke risk by 4 1/2 times compared with those getting a consistent seven to eight hours.'
