MCQ
Which process is used for amplification or multiplication of $DNA$ for finger printing?
  • Polymerse chain reaction $(PCR)$
  • B
    Nesslerisation
  • C
    Southern blotting
  • D
    Northern blotting

Answer

Correct option: A.
Polymerse chain reaction $(PCR)$
a
Polymerase chain reaction $(PCR)$ is a process used for the amplification (copy small segments) of $DNA$. It is a technique for enzymatically replicating $DNA$ without using living organisms, such as $\mathrm{E}$. coli or yeast. It is commonly used in the nedical and biological research labs for a variety of tasks, like detection of ereditary diseases, the identification of genetic fingerprints, diagnosis of infectious diseases, cloning of genes, paternity testing etc. segments and number of repetitive units.
