PCR is used to amplify a specific region of a DNA strand. Its amplify DNA fragments of between 0.1 and 10 kilo base pairs (kb), although some techniques allow for amplification of fragments up to 40 kb in size.

In the PCR techniques when we are making a rxn mix we are adding primers they helps to amplify the our DNA sequence by generating the nucleotides and adding those at a specific position, thats why we are getting the millions of copies of DNA by these oligonucleotide primer sequences.

The PCR is used to magnify/amplify a target DNA. See Forensic applications.

PCR is used for amplyfing DNA, it can be done using single or two or random primers depending on particular requirement.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
