A genetic test to detect predisposition to cancer would likely examine the APC gene for involvement in colorectal cancer.
Adenomatous polyposis coli is known as APC. An individual has a higher lifetime chance of developing many colorectal polyps (from ten to hundreds) as well as colorectal cancer if they have a genetic mutation that interferes with the operation of the APC gene. Colon cancer can strike anyone at any age, but it often strikes older persons. Small, benign (noncancerous) cell clusters called polyps commonly grow on the interior of the colon as the first signs of the condition. Some of these polyps may eventually develop into colon cancer.

Answer:
Gel electrophoresis.
Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique that we can use to ensure that the amplification process worked because we can see the different bands of DNA in the gel and compare the bands with the DNA ladder. If we know the number of base pairs that the replicated DNA should have, we would expect to see the bands of DNA in a certain area of the gel that is accurate for that amount of bp according to the DNA ladder.

We can calculate the rate of decay by this formula Rate of Decay Formula
The rate of decay for radioactive particles is a first order decay process. This means it follows an exponential decay pattern which can be easily calculated.
Nt = the amount of radioactive particles are time (t)
N0 = the amount of radioactive particles at time = 0
λ = rate of decay constant
t = time
Taking the natural log of both sides of this equation (remember it is an exponential decay) will yield:
