Why is it important for scientists to be able to remove DNA from an organism?
A
It allows scientists to observe the process of meiosis under a microscope.
B
It allows for the analysis of genetic information to study inheritance and identify genetic disorders.
C
It is necessary for increasing the organism's lifespan.
D
It enables the direct observation of protein synthesis in living cells.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that DNA contains the genetic information of an organism, which determines traits and biological functions.
Recognize that removing DNA from an organism allows scientists to isolate and analyze this genetic material separately from other cellular components.
By studying the extracted DNA, scientists can identify specific genes, mutations, or genetic markers related to inheritance patterns and genetic disorders.
This analysis helps in understanding how traits are passed from parents to offspring and in diagnosing or researching genetic diseases.
Therefore, the ability to remove DNA is crucial for genetic research, medical diagnostics, and advancing knowledge in heredity.
