Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "You need many copies of DNA for DNA fingerprinting".

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method that revolutionized molecular biology for its ability to create multiple copies of DNA at specific sequences. For instance, before PCR was invented it was difficult to use DNA as evidence in a crime because many copies of DNA are needed for DNA fingerprinting, the most widely used test to match the sample with the suspect. Nowadays, thanks to PCR, a drop of blood or a hair is enough to perform a DNA fingerprinting test.

An example of a population in which evolution could
Snezhnost [94]

An example of a population in which evolution could  take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment.  This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.

When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.

Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that replicate separately from chromosomes. Why are plasmids essenti
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

DNA from a gene of interest can be inserted into a plasmid, then the modified plasmid can be inserted into a bacterial cell to replicate a gene of interest many times.

Explanation:

Plasmids are the extra-chromosomal circular DNA present in bacterial cells. Plasmids are able to replicate themselves independent of genetic DNA. Their ability to self replicate allows them to maintain themselves in the bacterial cells. This is why plasmids are used as cloning vectors in recombinant DNA technology.

A gene of interest is isolated from the donor cell and is inserted into the plasmid. The recombinant plasmid is introduced into bacterial cells where it replicates the ligated desired gene and allows the gene cloning. For example, the human insulin gene is ligated with plasmid and the recombinant plasmid is introduced in <em>E. coli</em> where it replicates the human insulin gene and allows the production of desired copies of the gene.
