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.

Why is phenol red included in the urea medium while bromothymol blue is included in simmon's?
Marrrta [24]
Phenol red is used as the indicator for the Urea Medium because the indicator detects the formation of ammonia caused by the hydrolysis of urea done by the bacteria. Bromothymol blue is used in Simmons Citrate Agar because it effectively indicates the formation of carbonates formed by the consumption of citrate.

How can irradiation solve a societal problem?
ivanzaharov [21]
One example of irradiation solving a societal problem might be the way in which it is able to prevent diseases in food. Using small amount of radiation, the bacteria and insects that would otherwise be carrying harmful bacteria can be killed. This will solve a societal problem, in that food wastage and illness due to food poisoning in poverty-stricken areas are massive problems faced in our society.
