Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which biotechnology technique is used to amplify small segments of DNA?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is the genetic material in living organisms.
  • Step 2: Know that sometimes scientists need to work with very small amounts of DNA.
  • Step 3: Learn that PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
  • Step 4: Recognize that PCR is a technique used to make many copies of a specific segment of DNA.
  • Step 5: Understand that PCR involves repeated cycles of heating and cooling to separate the DNA strands and then copy them.
