Explore essential DNA techniques including PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), a method for duplicating billions of DNA copies, and Gel Electrophoresis, which separates DNA fragments by size. Learn about DNA Fingerprinting, useful for creating unique diagrams of DNA fragments, and Karyotyping, which provides a visual representation of chromosomes. Discover mutations and their implications. Watch informative videos linked for each technique to deepen your understanding of molecular biology.
