A paleontologist has recovered a bit of tissue from the 400-year-old preserved skin of an extinct dodo (a bird). To compare a specific region of the DNA from the sample with DNA from living birds, which of the following would be most useful for increasing the amount of dodo DNA available for testing?
|
|
gel electrophoresis
|
|
|
electroporation
|
|
|
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
|
|
|
RFLP analysis
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the polymerase chain reaction will be helpful in increasing the amount of DNA of Dodo.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA Typing-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) The copying process, known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), uses an enzyme (polymerase) to replicate DNA regions in a test tube. By repeating the copying process, a small number of DNA molecules can be reliably increased up to billions within several hours.
