Question

Why are biological replicates processed in parallel rather than rely purely on technical replicates in diagnostic validation?
Options
A Biological replicates assess natural physiological variation across subjects, whereas technical replicates assess protocol precision.
Correct Answer
B Biological replicates cost significantly less to run than technical replicates.
C Technical replicates eliminate the risk of systematic batch effects.
D Biological replicates increase the optical density of fluorescent dyes.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Biological replicates (samples from independent organisms) capture true biological variability, which technical replicates (repeated assays of one sample) cannot.
