A person cannot see a single cotton thread 100 feet away, but if you wound thousands of threads together into a rope, it would be visible much further away. Is this statement analogous to our DNA extraction

Answer:

Yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

It is very much analogous. Just as in the analogy explained, DNA isn't visible to the naked eye when it is alone or single, or just one. On the other hand, it is very much easier to see when the DNA are in a cluster, just like in the cotton example.

Succinctly put, the example is analogous to DNA extraction
