They pygmy sloth has been discovered on a remote island. They are much smaller than their most closely related pygmy species. (note that you do not need to research this animal specifically - the answers are about evolution in general) i) Provide 2 reasons for the dwarfism and relate those directly to natural selection.

ii) Describe the projected future for this species in terms of habitat, food sources, and genetic isolation.

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.'
