Which bio-technique would be most suitable for confirming the presence of a specific gene?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: PCR amplification
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) selectively amplifies a specific gene sequence, making it detectable even from minute initial quantities. This selectivity makes PCR the gold standard for gene identification, clinical diagnostics, and forensic analysis.
