Answer:

D. Use the polymerase chain reaction

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular technique used to make multiple copies or amplify  a particular DNA sample. This enables scientist conduct thorough genetic analysis on minute sample of DNA, simply by amplifying it to a large quantity.

The PCR machine is usually used to amplify DNA fragment. The DNA fragments undergo three major steps successively: denaturation, annealing and elongation

Monica [59]

Answer:

nucleotides are only building blocks whose combinations determine different codons which subsequently associate in a sequential manner in order to create different amino acid combinations

Explanation:

A gene is a specific segment of DNA whose (nucleotide) sequence is copied into an RNA during the process of transcription, typically a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein. During translation, each triplet of nucleotides, i.e., each codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid.  There are 64 possible codons (4³: 64), which can combine in different ways to create different amino acid combinations, and thus they are responsible for the generation of a huge amount of proteins coded by a given genome.

In the non-random-mating exercise the percentage and frequency data for the genes were unaffected by the non-random mating. True
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

When non-random mating is being carried out, percentage and frequency data are usually affected because non-random mating have the tendency of changing the gene frequencies in a population. These non-random mating usually occurs when individuals choose to mate with superior physical traits or as a result of physical accessibility. The phenotypic characteristics are also greatly influenced by the biotic and abiotic environment they dwell in or other physical characteristics.
