Answer:

The correct answer would be mitosis or M phase.

Mitosis or M phase is the phase of the cell cycle during which the actual division of the cell takes place that is, the division of nuclear content. It is also termed as karyokinesis.

It is primarily divided into four stages:

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase.

It results in the equal distribution of chromosomes into two daughter cells.

It is followed by cytokinesis by which cytoplasmic content is equally divided into the two daughter cells.

A scientist wants to begin making a DNA fingerprint, but she has only a very small DNA sample. What should her next step be

azamat

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 Taq 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.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Cancer cells can arise in a variety of ways, the most common, however, tends to be genetic mutations.

Genetic mutations can occur during the life of a cell due to outside factors such as:

The food we eat
The environment we expose the cell to
The substances that touch the cell (e.g skin cells)

That being said, the most common time for a genetic mutation to take place is during cellular division. During this time the DNA that encodes the cells is duplicated. Genetic mutations in this DNA sometimes cause the elimination of programmed cell death.

Programmed cell death is what tells a cell when it should stop growing and dividing. This is a regulatory function designed to keep the number of cells at a balance, growing only when needed. As this cell multiplies, this produces an increasing number of cells that will not die. The accumulation of these cells is referred to as cancer.
