Question

Give applications of gene amplification

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used in molecular biology to make several copies of a specific DNA segment. Using PCR, copies of DNA sequences are exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment.

Answer 2

Following are the applications of Gene amplification-

• DNA fingerprinting.
• Diagnosis of specific mutation.
• Diagnosis of specific microorganism.
• In prenatal diagnosis.
• Diagnosis of pathogen or parasites.
• Diagnosis of plant pathogen.
• Gene therapy.

Gene amplification is the repeated replication of a certain gene without a proportional increase in the copy of number of other genes .
