What does PCR stand for?
A
Polymerase Chronic Reagent
B
Principle Chorionic Reliability
C
Polymerase Chain Reaction
D
Probably Cannot React
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Polymerase chain reaction (abbreviated PCR) is a laboratory technique for rapidly producing (amplifying) millions to billions of copies of a specific segment of DNA, which can then be studied in greater detail.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to make millions of copies of a target piece of DNA. It is an indispensable tool in modern molecular biology and has transformed scientific research and diagnostic medicine.
