Gene amplification using primers can be ...

Gene amplification using primers can be done by :

A

microinjection

B

ELISA

C

polymerase chain reaction

D

gene gun

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Gene amplification using primers can be done by PCR. In this reaction, multiple copies of the gene of interest is synthesised in vitro using two sets of primers and the enzyme DNA polymerase. Primers are small chemically synthesised oligonucletides that are complementary to the regions of DNA.
