What is the end goal of PCR?
A
Look at banding patterns of DNA
B
Increase amount of DNA
C
Decrease the amount of DNA
D
Fingerprinting
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, the goal of PCR is to make enough of the target DNA region that it can be analyzed or used in some other way. For instance, DNA amplified by PCR may be sent for sequencing, visualized by gel electrophoresis, or cloned into a plasmid for further experiments.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of the PCR reaction, the specific sequence will be accumulated in billions of copies (amplicons).

Detailed explanation-3: -In a typical 50 µL reaction, 1–2 units of DNA polymerase are sufficient for amplification of target DNA. However, it may be necessary to adjust the enzyme amounts with difficult templates. For example, when inhibitors are present in the DNA sample, increasing the amount of DNA polymerase may improve PCR yields.
