उत्तर २

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an in vitro technique used to generate millions of copies of a specific DNA segment rapidly. PCR involves three main steps repeated in cycles: denaturation (heating DNA to separate strands), annealing (binding of primers to target DNA), and extension (DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA). The enzyme used is Taq polymerase, which is heat-stable and derived from Thermus aquaticus. PCR amplifies DNA to make numerous copies from a small initial sample, facilitating genetic research and diagnostics.
