"Pcr" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, which is a laboratory technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences. It involves repeated cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension, resulting in millions of copies of the target DNA sequence. PCR is widely used in molecular biology, forensic science, and medical research to detect genetic mutations, identify pathogens, and diagnose genetic disorders.
