Question

The polymerase chain reaction is

• A. a DNA sequencing technique
• B. a DNA degradation technique
• C. a DNA amplification technique
• D. a DNA transcription technique

Answer 1

The correct option is C a DNA amplification technique

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique used for selective amplification of a specific region of a DNA molecule to make multiple copies of that segment of DNA. In other words, PCR enables us to produce millions of specific DNA sequences from a small sample even if it is a microgram quantity of DNA.
