A reaction characterized by amplification of a specific region of a DNA strand through denaturing and annealing best describes which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a commonly used technique for amplifying a specific region of DNA. It involves cycles of denaturation, annealing of primers to the target region, and extension of the primers by DNA polymerase, resulting in the amplification of the target region. Signal amplification, solution hybridization, and ligase chain reaction are all different techniques that do not specifically involve DNA amplification through denaturing and annealing.
