Step-by-step explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a molecular technique used to amplify DNA sequences. The method uses short DNA sequences called primers to select the part of the genome to amplify.

To carry out this technique, a sample collection containing nucleated cells is first used. An example of this would be blood which contains leukocytes. The cells are then homogenized and lysed to release the DNA. This DNA is the one that will be used in the PCR molecular technique.

we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer: Rapidly replicated DNA sequences with the use of animal cells.
