Question
Chapter 13, Problem 46RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The two examples stating if the ability to get a DNA card for future diseases could be beneficial or detrimental for humankind are to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is the process that is used to make multiple copies of DNA. It helps in DNA fingerprinting.
DNA fingerprinting is useful in the sequencing of DNA.
DNA fingerprinting can be done by using the Sanger method.
