Question

The process of amplification of specific DNA sequences by an enzymatic process is termed as ____________

(a) amplification

(b) polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

(c) translation

(d) microarrays

The question was asked in semester exam.

I would like to ask this question from The Basic Technique topic in chapter Polymerase Chain Reaction of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (a) amplification

Easiest explanation: The process of amplification of specific DNA sequences by an enzymatic process is termed as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). For the PCR to take place there should be small sequences at each end which should be known.
