C)DNA fingerprinting
D)reverse transcription

Respuesta :

The answer is C because DNA fingerprint and determine who the person is , so they will be able to determine if the body is Jimmy Hoffa

The correct answer is DNA fingerprinting.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique by which the DNA of a person is recognized. Every person in the world is different but their DNA contains a particular set of amino acid sequence which is repeated again and again. This sequence is recognized by the help of DNA fingerprinting. Here, Jimmy Hoffa will have the same sequence in the DNA found on the comb, wallet and jewelry as that of the DNA found in the bone marrow of the skeleton.

So, by using DNA fingerprinting we can can determine that it is the body of Jimmy Hoffa.
