When a scientist is performing genetic tests in order to identify a specific individual they use specific markers that are found in the short-tandem repeat section of the DNA sequence. These regions are the most variable among the individuals that belong to the same species, therefore they are the best choice for trying to identify a specific individual.
The more markers they use, they can be more certain that this is a specific individual, in our case an elephant.

Write a detailed paragraph about lockdown in the us and trump’s response to it
zlopas [31]

Answer:

I'm sorry if this paragraph leans less in his favor, it's just who I am.

Explanation:

Donald J. Trump's reaction to the lockdown was to say it was fake, and continue to have rallies. "Stay calm, it will go away. You know it -- you know it is going away, and it will go away, and we're going to have a great victory." Mr. Trump says in march. His response to Biden trying to lockdown the country was negative. He recently got Coronavirus, so Mr. Trump is being a little more careful, and actually getting it opened his eyes to how bad the country is actually suffering.
