By PCR we mean:
Correct answer: B. Polymerase chain reaction
- A. Polymerase chronic reaction
- B. Polymerase chain reaction
- C. Polymerase copy reaction
- D. Polymerase cross-reaction
Explanation
Polymerase chain reaction (abbreviated PCR) is a laboratory technique for rapidly producing (amplifying) millions to billions of copies of a specific segment of DNA, which can then be studied in greater detail.
