Solution
Kary Mullis
Explanation:
Kary Mullis introduced this method in 1985, which allows millions of copies of a specific DNA segment to be made quickly. The process involves repeated cycles of DNA strand separation, primer annealing, and extension by a heat-stable DNA polymerase enzyme (Taq polymerase), enabling rapid DNA amplification. This breakthrough significantly advanced genetic research and biotechnology applications.
