Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction machine

Primers

Petri dishes

Test tubes

Pipettes

DNA Polymerase

Free nucleotides

The organism to be identified

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the genetic makeup of an unknown organism, the nucleotide sequences fond in the Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) of a known organism is matched to the DNA of some known organisms. If there is a certain degree of sameness in most of the matched parts, then the unknown organism can be said to be related to the known organism. This is a comparative study.

To carry out this identification, items used include; primers, the PCR machine, test tubes, DNA polymerase, free nucleotides, etc.
