- Q4What is the role of primers in PCR?To separate DNA strandsTo extend DNA strandsTo bind to DNA templatesTo degrade unwanted DNA30s
- Q5Which temperature is typically used for denaturation in PCR?60°C72°C37°C95°C30s
- Q6What does DNA sequencing help identify?The amount of DNAThe type of proteinThe origin of DNAThe order of nucleotides30s
- Q7What is a key difference between PCR and DNA sequencing?PCR involves RNA, sequencing does notPCR and sequencing are the samePCR uses RNA polymerase, sequencing uses DNA polymerasePCR amplifies DNA, sequencing determines the order30s

- Q10Which of the following is required in DNA paternity testing?Protein markers from the childOnly the father's DNAOnly the mother's DNADNA samples from the father and child30s
- Q11How is DNA extracted for paternity testing?By using chemical reactions to separate DNABy breaking down cell membranes and isolating DNABy collecting saliva samplesBy synthesizing new DNA in a lab30s
- Q12What is a typical result of a successful paternity test?Presence of specific proteinsMutated genesMismatched genetic markersMatching DNA profiles30s
- Q13What is the basic building block of RNA?Amino acidFatty acidMonosaccharideNucleotide30s
- Q14What are the four bases of RNA?Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, GuanineUracil, Thymine, Cytosine, GuanineAdenine, Thymine, Cytosine, GuanineAdenine, Uracil, Thymine, Guanine30s
- Q15Which of the following is a key difference between RNA and DNA?DNA contains uracilRNA contains uracil instead of thymineRNA uses ribose, DNA uses deoxyriboseRNA is double-stranded30s
