Answer:

With the invention of the PCR technique , DNA profiling took huge strides forward in both discriminating power and the ability to recover information from very small or degraded starting samples.

The process of PCR mimics the biological process of DNA replication but confines it to specific DNA sequences of interest.

In PCR process , the DNA sample is denatured into separate individual polynucleotide strands through heating. Two oligonucleotide DNA primers are used to hybridise to two corresponding nearby sites on opposite DNA strands. Thus two new copies of the sequences of interest are generated.

Repeated denaturation , hybridisation and extension in this fashion produce an exponentially growing number of copies of the DNA of interest.

Quantitative PCR methods enable automated , precise and high - throughput measurements.

Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like! More importantly, decomposers make vital nutrients available to an ecosystem's primary producers—usually plants and algae.

Pure water is neutral. What is the appropriate justification for this? A. Water has equal H+ and OH- ions, making its pH 7, whic
Pani-rosa [81]
The correct solution for this is explained the first option. Since water has an equivalent amount or number of H ions and OH ions, pure water itself is not slightly acidic nor basic. This equality of ions, causes the pH of water to be around the mid point of the pH scale which goes from 0 - 14, and thus is 7. This is a neutral pH.
