Polymerase chain reaction
One method of making copies of DNA is through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In PCR, a DNA template is mixed with primers, nucleotides, and DNA polymerase, and subjected to cycles of heating and cooling to amplify the target DNA region. This results in millions of copies of the DNA target.
Polymerase chain reaction
Amplification is the production of many copies of a particular DNA segment. The copying repeats - so that copies of the copies are made. This results in many, many copies in only a few cycles. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is the most common method of amplifying DNA.

Replication! 1) DNA splits 2) DNA copies 3) left with 2 copies of DNA! :)
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifies specific regions of DNA, making them easier to detect and study. By creating millions of copies of a target DNA sequence, PCR increases the reliability of detecting mutations or variations in the DNA. This increased specificity and abundance of DNA copies make PCR a valuable tool in various genetic analyses.
Polymerase chain reaction
Each cell in the human body typically contains two copies of DNA.
