Q. Gene amplification using primers can be done by

A) Microinjection
B) ELISA
C) Polymerase chain reaction
D) Gene gun
Explanation

Gene amplification using primers can be done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this reaction, multiple copies of the gene of interest is synthesized in vitro using two sets of primers and the enzyme DNA polymerase. Primers are small chemically synthesized oligonucleotides that are complementary to the regions of DNA.
