Practice one SAT question at a time
Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Producing the nutrient-rich cyanobacterium L. maxima at industrial scale requires high-quality samples of L. maxima DNA.
- Yirlis Yadeth Pineda-Rodriguez and a team of researchers at the University of Córdoba, Colombia, evaluated the quantity and purity of L. maxima DNA extracted using three different DNA extraction kits.
- CTAB 2X (kit 1) had a DNA yield of 2,134 nanograms per microliter (ng/µL) and a purity ratio of 2.2.
- Pbact (kit 2) had a DNA yield of 157 ng/µL and a purity ratio of 1.6.
- Pplant (kit 3) had a DNA yield of 12.5 ng/µL and a purity ratio of 1.5.
- According to the researchers, Pbact was the most effective because it was the only one with both a sufficiently high yield and a purity rate close to the ideal of 1.8.
The student wants to emphasize the significance of a similarity between two of the kits. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
