PCR- Polymerase Chain Reaction
PCR technique gives researchers the means to make more DNA by synthesising multiple copies of specific DNA fragments using DNA polymerase.
Explanation:
PCR, a biotechnological breakthrough of the 1980's, continues to play a significant role in science today. It has many research and practical applications and is routinely used in DNA cloning, medical diagnostics, and forensic analysis of DNA.
It can be used in the identification and detection of infectious diseases and in the field of molecular genetics like genetic testing and genetic fingerprinting.
