Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify a specific DNA sequence, creating multiple copies. This is achieved by using a heat-stable DNA polymerase enzyme and a set of primers that flank the target gene sequence. PCR has revolutionized molecular biology and has many applications, including gene cloning, genetic mapping, and forensic analysis. A, B, and D are not relevant to the amplification of genes.
