What does PCR stand for?
A
Polypeptide Chain Reaction
B
Polysacharide Chain Reaction
C
Polymerase Chain Reaction
D
Periodical Chain Restriction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Detailed explanation-2: -PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction. PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique used in molecular biology to create several copies of a certain DNA segment. This technique was developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, an American biochemist. PCR has made it possible to generate millions of copies of a small segment of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sometimes called “molecular photocopying, ‘’ the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fast and inexpensive technique used to “amplify”-copy-small segments of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The PCR process has 4 steps:collection, preparation, amplification, and post PCR clean-up. The PCR machine steps happen in the amplification step.
