Which of the following correctly describes the word degenerate in relation to the genetic code? a. the reduction from dna to rna to amino acids during the process of protein synthesis. b. redundancy, each amino acid is coded for by multiple triplet codons. c. when the dna helix uncoils and loses its structure. d. when the genetic code begins to break down as an organism

c

explanation:

i think

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
