Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method by which a target DNA fragment is amplified to produce millions of copies. In PCR, the Taq polymerase enzyme uses nucleotides and primers to replicate a small DNA segment <em>in vitro</em> and produces two DNA molecules. The newly formed DNA molecules are denatured by heating to facilitate their replication to produce four double-stranded DNA molecules. In this way, the number of DNA molecules is doubled in each cycle. Therefore, the small amount of DNA obtained from the minuscule spot of blood on a murder suspect’s shirt can be amplified using PCR.

The first thing you need to know is wheather the cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. If it does not have nucleus it might be any prokaryotic cell except mycoplasma bacteria. If it is with nucleus, then it might be algae, plants and fungi. The difference between algae, plants and fungi cell wall is in their structure. Plant cell walls containlignin, suberin or cutin, algae possess cell walls made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides  and fungi possess cell walls made of the N-acetylglucosamine polymer chitin.
