Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifies DNA following the equation.
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify DNA, and its amplification can be described by the equation $2^n$. In this equation, $n$ represents the number of cycles. For example, if PCR is run for 3 cycles, the calculation would be $2^3$, which equals $2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8$. Therefore, 8 DNA fragments would be produced after 3 cycles.
