Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

In the oldest fossils found in Bitter Springs (Cyanobacteria), why can we only find the remains of single celled organisms
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Due to presence at early days of the planet.

Explanation:

We only find the remains of single celled organisms in the oldest fossils because the single celled organisms are the organisms that were present in the early days of this planet. These single celled microbes were present about 3.7 billion years ago while on the other hand, the oldest rocks are only a little older i. e. 3.8 billion years so these single celled organisms are considered as oldest fossils on this planet.
