Answer:

PCR, or the polymerase chain reaction, is a chemical reaction that molecular biologists use to amplify pieces of DNA. This reaction allows a single or a few copies of DNA to be replicated into millions or billions of copies.

I'm sorry I couldn't get what it does but I think it's somewhere in there
