The <em>S. salivarius</em> is chosen because it the predominant gram positive bacteria that colonizes the oral cavity shortly after birth.
<h3>What is PCR?</h3>
Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) test is a type of test that is used to identify a particular deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism.
<em>Streptococcus salivarius</em> cannot be cultured especially when the test sample is contaminated with other body normal flora.
The steps of PCR testing include the following:
- Annealing Primer to Target Sequence
- End of the First PCR Cycle
On a crime scene, the specimen that can be used for PCR testing are blood and body secretions.
PCR testing can be done on a scene with blood spills.

Answer:
Base substitution mutation
Explanation:
Mutation is the alteration or change that occurs to the sequence of a gene caused by a mutagen (chemicals) or spontaneously-induced. Depending on how the mutation occurs, it is of different types. The mutation shown in this question is as follows:
ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG
This type of mutation is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation is a type of mutation that involves the replacement of one or more nucleotide base by another. In this original sequence; ATCGGCTTAACG, the eight base T was replaced by base A in the sequence, hence, it is a substitution mutation.
If mutation destroys the function of the Cas9 gene then the bacteria will not be able to target a specific bacteriophage for destruction upon infection for the second time.
<h3>What is the Cas9 gene?</h3>
- Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton protein that plays a vital role in the immunological defense of certain bacteria against DNA viruses and plasmids and is heavily utilized in genetic engineering applications.
- Its main function is to cut DNA and thereby alter a cell's genome.
- Although Cas9 is an endonuclease and is evolved as a mechanism of immunity against viruses, they are not considered restriction enzymes.
