When the amount of DNA iolated from cells is of a very small quantity and we are interested in studying only a specific stretch of DNA, it needs to be amplified
DNA amplification means making millions of copies of a very specific stretch of the DNA
After amplification, it becomes easier to analyze DNA using a variety of analytical techniques like gel electrophoresis

Is polymerase chain reaction used to amplify DNA from a fossil a fetal cell or a virus?
The PCR reaction can be used to amplify DNA from all three sources mentioned. PCR relies on the use of short stretches of DNA that are 6 - 12 bases long to attach to the target DNA (the source where the DNA is coming from) so that the polymerase enzyme can make copies of the target DNA. As long as these primers are available (they can be commercially purchased in many cases), PCR can be carries out on fetal cell DNA and viral DNA. Fossil DNA however, may have undergone degradation. DNA has to be of a certain purity for PCR to work. If the fossil DNA had degraded or broken down, PCR cannot be carried out.
How do you get lizard DNA?
Based on the experiments I've done with DNA, I'd start with a lizard and a blender.I'm guessing you really meant "how can you get lizard DNA inside your body"? In which case: lizard, blender, straw.You cannot incorporate lizard DNA into your own DNA, if you were hoping to become the Ludicrous Lizard-Man or something.
What is the sequence of the template DNA?
What do you really want to ask? template DNA is a DNA you want to amplify. So you should know what you are amplifying before a PCR or you can make it by sequencing your PCR product.
How does DNA fingerprinting relate to Poly Chain Reaction?
DNA fingerprinting uses variants in DNA sequences to create a unique profile for each individual, while the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences. PCR is commonly used in DNA fingerprinting to amplify regions of interest in the DNA sample before further analysis. This amplification step allows for better detection and characterization of DNA variations used in DNA fingerprinting.
Why was polymerase chain reaction developed?
makes more copies of a sample of DNA. apex
What does it mean to amplify DNA and why is it important in genetic research and diagnostics?
Amplifying DNA means making copies of a specific DNA sequence. This process is important in genetic research and diagnostics because it allows scientists to study and analyze small amounts of DNA, helping to identify genetic variations and mutations that may be linked to diseases or conditions.
Is DNA Cloning used following procedures is used to amplify DNA in vitro?
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
What process could you use to amplify the DNA in a bloodstain from a crime scene?
PCR

What does all animal with tissues have?
DNA
What process is used to amplify small DNA samples?
Poly merase chain reaction

What does polymerase chain reaction enable scientist to make?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables scientists to make millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in a short amount of time. This technique is commonly used in research, forensics, and medical diagnostics to amplify DNA for analysis.
What is the sequence of the template DNA?
What do you really want to ask? template DNA is a DNA you want to amplify. So you should know what you are amplifying before a PCR or you can make it by sequencing your PCR product.
Process used to amplify small DNA samples?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a commonly used method to amplify small DNA samples. In PCR, the DNA sample is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA into single strands, then specific primers are added to flank the target DNA sequence. DNA polymerase then synthesizes new DNA strands complementary to the target sequence, resulting in exponential amplification of the DNA fragment.
How does PCR selectively amplify stretches of DNA?
The PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is a laboratory system for DNA replication and amplificiation. It allows selected stretches of DNA to be duplicated using heat in the process.
How does DNA fingerprinting relate to Poly Chain Reaction?
DNA fingerprinting uses variants in DNA sequences to create a unique profile for each individual, while the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences. PCR is commonly used in DNA fingerprinting to amplify regions of interest in the DNA sample before further analysis. This amplification step allows for better detection and characterization of DNA variations used in DNA fingerprinting.
