For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.

Licemer1 [7]

Cory is reluctant to leave her home and attend college despite just being finished with her teenage years. Usually, the people of this age are explorative and are trying to find their identity in the world separately, but Cory seems to stay isolated even from Mike, which indicates that she might be going through the stage of stress. Stress makes a person to avoid any kind of interaction with other people and inhibits the urge to explore the life outside one's comfort zone. So, Cory is going through the stress stage.
