Detailed explanation-1: -In 1985, Kary Mullis invented the process known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in which a small amount of DNA can be copied in large quantities over a short period of time. By applying heat, the DNA molecule’s two strands are separated and the DNA building blocks that have been added are bonded to each strand.

Detailed explanation-2: -The technique of PCR was developed by Alec Jeffreys. Q. Who among the following was awarded the Nobel Prize for the development of PCR technique?

Detailed explanation-3: -PCR-the polymerase chain reaction-is a technique for amplifying DNA that dramatically boosted the pace of genetic research. In a matter of a few hours, PCR can make billions of copies of a specific segment of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -1. The PCR technique was developed by . Sol:(d) Kary Mullis.
