(a) cutting

(b) amplification

(c) joining

(d) denaturation

I had been asked this question in an interview for internship.

I need to ask this question from Biotechnological Applications in Medicine: Molecular Diagnosis in section Biotechnology and its Applications of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) amplification

The explanation is: Low concentration of any pathogen can be detected by amplification of their nucleic acid. Amplification means increasing the number. The high number of nucleic acid can ease in finding pathogens, symptoms and cure against it.
