Answer:

increasing extension time

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify target DNA regions. The standard steps of a PCR are as follow 1-denaturation, 2-annealing and 3-elongation/extension. These steps are repeated 15-40 times in order to exponentially amplify the linear DNA fragment. It is well known that longer extension times can be used as a strategy to increase the yield of longer PCR products. This is because the extension time depends on the synthesis rate of the DNA polymerase used in PCR technique and the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified.

I believe the correct answer is - <span>This drug helps people lose more weight than diet and exercise alone.
It says here in the text - 48% of the people who took these drugs along with exercise and diet lost weight, whereas only 23% of those who had exercise and diet (but no drug) lost weight. Obviously, this shows that more people who took the drug lost weight than those who didn't.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Karyotype may be defined as the process of the determining of the chromosome complement of the individual organism. The complete set of an organism's chromosome can be determined by karyotype.

The karyotype displays the each and every pair of homologous chromosome. The chromosomes are organised according to their shape and size. The abnormal chromosome can easily be determined by the karyotype.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
