Question

Polymerase chain reaction is most useful in

  • DNA synthesis

  • DNA amplification

  • protein synthesis

  • amino acid synthesis

Answer

A.

DNA synthesis

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used in molecular biology to make many copies of a specific DNA segment. Using PCR, a single copy (or more) of a DNA sequence is exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment
