PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a relatively new advance (1980's) but it has a great impact in our lives. Specifically, in forensic science, PCR is useful in many sorts of crimes . Up until the PCR method, in order to identify a person forensic scientists would use fingerprints or some other ambiguous methods like teeth marks etc. But now, with PCR, we can compare the genetic material found on a crime scene and compare it with a suspect's genetic material, definitively concluding whether they are the same person or not. The way this works is that we collect a sample from the crime scene with DNA and then PCR amplifies the quantity of DNA in that sample. One of the apparent advantages of this method is that PCR works with even a very small sample, often not even a single cell is required. This makes crime scenes full of information. Hence, succinctly, PCR has helped modern forensic science in that:
1) its results are more definitve than traditional identification methods and subject to less ambiguity
2) it is relatively fast
3) new pieces of evidence can be of value (like some hair cells) and identify the crominal in cases that in older times would be impossible to solve.

You can classify them according to the way they get their food because if they eat plants, then they are herbivores. If animals eat herbivores, then they are consumers. Etc.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Heat moves from warm to cold so that means that C and D are eliminated. Conductors cause heat to move quickly thus melting the ice faster.
Explanation:
the rate of weathering is not the same for all rocks. Factors such as surface area, rock composition, and location influence the rate of weathering. water, the faster the rock will break down. A greater surface area allows chemical weathering to affect more of a rock.
