Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Genetics is the study of ________.
butalik [34]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.

Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
