The statements that accurately evaluate the DNA technology presented are:
1. Gel electrophoresis is used to compare DNA fragment lengths to determine relatedness between two individuals.
– This statement is correct. Gel electrophoresis allows for the separation of DNA fragments based on size, which can help analyze genetic similarities and differences.
2. Recombinant plasmids are used to produce transformed bacteria that can produce large amounts of human protein.
– This statement is also correct. Recombinant plasmids can carry human genes into bacteria, enabling the bacteria to produce human proteins in large quantities.
3. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to produce large amounts of DNA for gel electrophoresis.
– This statement is correct as well. PCR amplifies specific DNA sequences, making it possible to produce enough DNA for analysis through gel electrophoresis.
The other statements are inaccurate:
– PCR is used to produce large amounts of protein. (Incorrect, as PCR amplifies DNA, not proteins.)
– Recombinant plasmids are used to produce large amounts of DNA. (Incorrect, recombinant plasmids are primarily designed for producing proteins, not large amounts of DNA.)
