Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: DNA fingerprinting
Concept:

Genotypic profiling and variation analysis via restriction enzyme digestion.

Solution:

RFLP analyzes unique variations in DNA fragment patterns generated by restriction enzyme digestion, making it a foundational tool for DNA fingerprinting, paternity testing, and forensic identification.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • Gene therapy: Insertion of therapeutic genes into patient cells to correct genetic disorders.


  • Tissue culture: In vitro cultivation of plant or animal cells under sterile nutrient conditions.


  • Protein synthesis: Translation of mRNA sequences into polypeptide chains on ribosomes.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
