Phytoplankton contribute positively in the oceanic ecosystem as they are a source of food for oceanic animals. Moreover, they remove carbondioxide from the carbon cycle and utilize it for the process of photosynthesis.
The step at which the researchers would do at the end of researching Edna is to amplify the amount of DNA.
Option (d);
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- The term EDNA means Environmental DNA.
- Invasive species in the waterway are the waterborne plants and animals who can likely cause effects to the human as well as the environment.
- If researchers want to use eDNA to look for invasive species in the waterway, they will first collect a sample.
- After cutting DNA into pieces, DNA would be precipitated in each sample.
- And in the end, the amount of DNA would be amplified in each sample to understand how it would cause harm to the environment.
