PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is used to:

  • A Determine the exact sequence of bases in DNA
  • B Amplify specific DNA sequences
  • C Synthesize new proteins from an mRNA template
  • D Deliberately create new mutations in target genes

Correct answer: B. Amplify specific DNA sequences

Explanation: PCR amplifies (copies) a specific DNA sequence millions of times. Used in forensics, medical diagnosis, and research.

Concept context

Recombinant DNA, GMOs, PCR, CRISPR, and biotechnology applications. Growing importance in NEET.
