Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So the a little specific legal nucleotides or A S O S are short and single stranded DNA fragments that can hybridize into their complementary folios on their proper conditions. A S Oh Well, we'll remember that under proper conditions, these type of values specific legal nucleotides are going to do exactly What they're supposed to do, which is to completely hybridize into their complementary a leo's if they're not going to hybridize into sequences or 50% similar or the differ by one or two nuclear ties are going to hybridize exactly into their complementary Leo's knowing that let's go over each of the answer choices so that we may solve the problem. We have been hybridized a sequence that have at least 50% similarity to its complementary sequence. This is going to be incorrect as we stated above. Then we have seen paradise a sequence that vary in single nucleotide to its complementary sequence. Again, this is going to be incorrect because it is going to only hybridize to the exact same sequence. And then we have a paradise only with this complementary DNA sequence is going to be our correct cement. So we're going to highlight it as a final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.

In 1975, the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA was organized by Paul Berg, a pioneer of recombinant DNA technology, at a conference center at Asilomar State Beach in California. Physicians, scientists, lawyers, ethicists, and others gathered to draft guidelines for safe applications of recombinant DNA technology. These general guidelines were adopted by the federal government and are still in practice today. Consider the implications of recombinant DNA as a new technology. What concerns might the scientific community have had then about recombinant DNA technology? Might those same concerns exist today?

Maternal blood tests for three pregnant women revealed they would be having boys, yet subsequent ultrasound images showed all three were pregnant with girls. In each case Y chromosome sequences in each mother's blood originated from transplanted organs they had received from men! This demonstrates one dramatic example of a limitation of genetic analysis of maternal blood samples. What kind of information could have been collected from each mother in advance of these tests to better inform physicians prior to performing each test?
