Which of the following methods can amplify particular segments of target DNA a billion-fold?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method that can amplify particular segments of target DNA a billion-fold by cycling through a series of temperature changes to promote DNA denaturation, annealing of primers, and elongation by a thermostable DNA polymerase. RFLP and Southern blotting are methods used for detecting DNA fragments, while Western blotting is a method for detecting proteins. None of these methods have the amplification ability of PCR.
