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.
With PCR, it is routinely possible to amplify enough DNA from a single hair follicle for DNA typing. Some workers have successfully amplified DNA from a single sperm cell.

PCR Polymerase chain reaction. An in vitro technique to produce many copies of a specific section of DNA sequence. PCR is normally used to amplify sections up to ~2kbp in length, although routine PCR of sections up to 20kbp is becoming possible.

PCR is a technique that allows a researcher to pick a region of DNA from a very small sample and amplify it to some usable quantity. It works by iterating cycles in which only the region of interest is amplified.
PCR techniques are used to produce sufficient quantities of DNA for this technique.
