Under Ideal Conditions, the Number of DNA Molecules Produced During

Question

Under ideal conditions, the number of DNA molecules produced during PCR increases exponentially.

Accepted Answer

PCR is a process of amplification, where the target DNA sequence is replicated millions of times. The amplification occurs in cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension, allowing for exponential growth of the DNA molecules. This exponential increase in DNA molecules is a fundamental characteristic of PCR and is the basis for the high sensitivity and specificity of the technique.
