The function of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is ?

Translation is the process of synthesis of protein using mRNA nucleotide sequence as template, it occurs in cytoplasm. Transcription is the process of mRNA synthesis using DNA coding strand as template, it occurs in nucleus. PCR is a technique to amplify the gene of interest in three steps namely denaturation of target DNA (thermal cycle to separate the DNA strands), annealing of primers to the ssDNA and polymerisation (extension of primer into complete DNA strand complementary to the template strand). After completion of one cycle of PCR, two copies of the target DNA are produced both of which serve as template for next PCR cycle and produce 4 copies. Hence, there is exponential amplification of DNA copies. Correct option is C.
