The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a) DNA

b) AGCT

c) PCR

d) SNP

Answer:

PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is the technique which replicates and produces multiple copies of the DNA molecule artificially in a short period of time.

The PCR technique employs a variety of enzymes and all the prerequisites which are required in the DNA replication in vivo conditions.

In the given question, if the genome of the mummy has to sequence then after the collection of samples from the bones, the DNA has to replicate through the process of PCR. The samples from the different bone structures can be compared and analysed and a complete genome sequence can be analysed.

Thus, PCR is correct.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Promoter

Explanation:

Transcription is the first step in gene expression which consists of copying the DNA sequence of a gene to produce a RNA molecule. There are enzymes called <u>RNA polymerases which perform this process of transcription</u>. These enzymes bind nucleotides (the monomers which are part of the nucleic acids) to create a RNA strand using a DNA strand as a mold.

A promoter is a region of DNA that controls the initiation of transcription of a given portion of DNA to RNA. Therefore they promote the transcription of a gene. <u>The promoter region is composed of a specific sequence of DNA located just where the starting point of the DNA transcription is</u> and contains the information needed to activate or deactivate the gene it regulates. <u>The promoter has a binding site for the RNA polymerase enzyme </u>in charge of mRNA synthesis and when it recognizes this site, transcription begins.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Food (Glucose)

Explanation:

Glucose provides us with energy that is obtained through a process known as glycolysis of carbohydrates. They are our most primary sources of energy. However, Glucose only enters organs and cells, through insulin produced by the pancreas.
