Select the reaction characterized by amplification of a specific region of a DNA strand through denaturing and annealing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the process of amplifying specific regions of DNA through repeated cycles of denaturing the double-stranded template DNA, annealing primers, and extending new DNA from the primers using a thermostable DNA polymerase. This process can amplify a specific target region of DNA up to millions of times, making it a powerful tool for DNA analysis and research.
