Answer:

b. polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

  • PCR is the technique that generates millions of copies of DNA starting from a small amount of template.

In this reaction, a molecule of double stranded DNA is denatured and the chains separated. Then, the single strands of DNA are hybridized with a small complementary fragment of DNA called a primer, which is then extended by an enzyme called DNA polymerase by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand. The result will be two double stranded DNA molecules. If you repeat the process many times, <u>you can amplify the original DNA material exponentially</u>, and the final PCR product will be millions of DNA molecules that can be used for testing.

  • A SNP analysis is a method that allows scientists to detect variations of a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence of different individuals.
  • Electroporation is a technique that creates temporary pores in a cell membrane, allowing the delivery of drugs or DNA to a cell.
  • Gel electrophoresis is a method to analyze the PCR product in which the DNA molecules are separated by size.

FROM THE LUNGS, BLOOD COMES BACK TO THE HEART. DESCRIBE THE PATH THIS BLOOD FOLLOWS UNTIL IT ENTERS THE AORTA.
Mrac [35]
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels to and from tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Ber [7]
<span>The uncovered fossils of fish and palm trees shows that Earth’s environment has changed. Due to climate change, animals and trees have adapt to it over time. Researchers have found that tropical fish species are likely to leave their homes and populate in cooler waters as the world heats. And the palm trees were found that have grown in Antartica because of the change in temperature.<span>
