The archeology and biotechnology departments also wanted to use the DNA to explore the new hypothesis regarding copy-number variations and ancestry. What type of evidence would the departments like to find?

The number of repetitive gene sequences (such as for example, microsatellite sequences) is used as a molecular marker to determine genealogical relationships between organisms.

Explanation:

It is likely that the department can accurately identify  genealogical relationships among organisms by using these molecular markers

nucleic acid molecules are incredibly complex, containing the code that guarantees the four different nucleotide units comprise dna, the nucleic acid of interest to the genealogist. and one of four nitrogen-containing molecules called nucleotides
