Digestion of an unlabeled carbohydrate results in increased amounts of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose. Which is most likely to be the original, unlabeled carbohydrate?

lactose  

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide sugar made up of glucose and galactose monosaccharide subunits. In lactose, galactose and glucose molecules form a covalent glycosidic bond denoted as an (β-1→4) glycosidic bond. Lactase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose, which can be then absorbed into the bloodstream by the cells lining the small intestine. In an alkaline solution, lactose may also isomerize to generate a mixture of lactulose (20-30%) and lactose (70-80%).

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
