Answer:
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is used to duplicate traces of DNA from any living form, for identification purposes. The correct sequence is 1, 3, 2; based on the options given.
Explanation:
The steps to be followed for the PCR procedure are:
<em>Denaturation</em>
Option 1. Involves incubation at 94°C to denature DNA strands into single strands by breaking of weak hydrogen links
<em>Annealing</em>
Option 3. Temperature is lowered to 60°C to allow primers joining their similar DNA sequences.
<em>Elongation</em>
Option 2. Incubate at 72°C to promote the extension of the DNA strands, actually extending them.
Theories are a collection of scientific data that is generally accepted and reproducible. Theories are a result from several repeated experiments, but theories are not based on a single hypothesis. Several hypotheses are tested and appraised to become a well accepted theory. Theories may also be revised over time and can predict what may happen in the future. On the other hand, theories are not proven facts.
