With more education and experience, accountants can become certified. Some financial documents, such as those submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, must be signed by a Certified Public Accountant.
Hyperchromicity is the increase of absorbance (optical density) of a material. The most famous example is the hyperchromicity of DNA that occurs when the DNA duplex is denatured. The UV absorption is increased when the two single DNA strands are being separated, either by heat or by addition of denaturant or by increasing the pH level.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows researchers to amplify DNA in a test tube. This process uses an enzyme derived from heat-resistant bacteria. The steps of PCR are driven by changes in temperature. Originally created for DNA Interactive (http://www.dnai.org). TRANSCRIPT: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a process where many copies of a specific piece of DNA can be made. This is known as amplification. Double-stranded DNA (red) unwinds and separates when the temperature is increased.
