Which laboratory technique is used to produce many copies of a piece of DNA? (Hint: look at the DNA Technology PowerPoint on my website)

• Polymerase Chain Reaction

• Genetic engineering

• Gel electrophoresis

• Gene therapy

A process of producing genetically identical copies of genes, cells, tissue, or an entire organism

• gel electrophoresis

A laboratory technique that creates a pattern from DNA segments that can be used similar to a finger print to identify an individual or to identify familial relationships

• plasmids

• therapeutic cloning

• genetic engineering
