Summary Introduction
To describe: The reasons behind the revolutionary concept of PCR.
Introduction: A process of molecular biology which is responsible for the production of various copies of a particular segment of DNA is called “polymerase chain reaction (PCR).” Using the technique of PCR, a single segment of DNA can be amplified to produce a sufficient number of copies of that particular segment.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The two applications of PCR.
Introduction: A process of molecular biology which is responsible for the production of various copies of a particular segment of DNA is called “polymerase chain reaction (PCR).” Using the technique of PCR, a single segment of DNA can be amplified to produce a sufficient number of copies of that particular segment.

Students have asked these similar questions
PCR has revolutionalized biotechnology. Discuss three advantages and three disadvantages of PCR usage.
PCR & High-Throughput Sequencing
A. What are the three steps of PCR, including temperatures, (or ranges?)
B. What are two differences between next-gen sequencing and Sanger sequencing?
Running a PCR
Why is a Hotstart necessary and how is it achieved? Why are the three temperatures necessary for PCR? Explain the role of each. Why does the lid of the thermocycler need to be heated? Why did we conduct an amplification reaction with no DNA? When looking at your PCR results why do you only see one band? What size were each of your PCR products?
