Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following techniques is used to amplify DNA?
Correct Answer: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA amplification means making many copies of a specific DNA segment.
  • Step 2: Learn about the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique, which is commonly used for this purpose.
  • Step 3: Know that PCR involves repeated cycles of heating and cooling to separate DNA strands and then copy them.
  • Step 4: Recognize that PCR can create millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence quickly.
