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.

viva [34]

Answer:

All progeny with heterozygous dominant genotype

Explanation:

Mendel crossed two pure breeding pea plants with respect to one genetic trait. He found that the F1 progeny obtained by crossing two pure breeding parent plants is always heterozygous dominant. The phenotype of the F1 progeny was always the phenotype of the dominant pure breeding parent plant.

For instance, purple flower color is a dominant trait over the white flower color in pea plants. When he crossed a pure breeding purple-flowered pea plant (PP) with a pure breeding white-flowered pea plant (pp), the F1 progeny was expressed the phenotype of the dominant parent and had purple flowers. The genotype of the F1 plants was Ww (heterozygous dominant).

Van Helmont did experiments on
Natali [406]

Answer:

A. Water

Explanation:

Van Helmont concluded that most of the mass the plant gained had come from water, because that was the only thing that he had added to the pot. Van Helmont's experiment accounts for the "hydrate," or water, portion of the carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis.

Why is pcr used in the process of dna sequencing?
Vika [28.1K]
PCR allows for the analysis of DNA fragments through the comparison of the base pairs each molecule contains, which can then be used for genetic screening and the identification of individuals and DNA fragments
