Both will contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of biotechnology.

Restriction enzymes will aid in differentiating the difference in gene sequence in humans. This will be critical in many aspect from recognizing and finding a cure for a disease to imprisoning a criminal or setting them free.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will mostly add to the efficiency of biotechnology, by helping to amplify copies of DNA sequences.
