This is an enzyme that can withstand high temperatures and is used to amplify segments of DNA via polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): A method widely used in molecular biology to make several copies of a specific segment of DNA quickly and accurately.
Proteins that act as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions within cells without being consumed in the process.
DNA Amplification: An increase in the number of copies of a specific region of DNA.
