Question

Joe is a researcher interested in studying the enzyme G3PDH. The g3pdh gene is present in all cells, and its expression level is constant in all cells. G3PDH enzyme becomes activated in a cell by phosphorylation. Joe wants to use PCR to study the activation of G3PDH enzyme. Is this a good idea? CHOOSE THE MOST CORRECT ANSWER No, because PCR amplifies DNA. Yes, because PCR can exponentially amplify G3PDH in Joe's samples. No, because PCR is easily contaminated. Yes, because PCR will allow Joe to detect G3PDH in very small amounts of starting material
