- PCR allows gene cloning to take place in a test tube
- Reaction allows many identical copies of double stranded DNA to be made without the use of bacteria
- Each strand is copied producing two new strands, doubling the amount each cycle
- This is semi-consevative replication of DNA
- PCR is used to create vast quantities of DNA from small samples such as a speck of blood
- It gives enough material for genetic fingerprinting.
