Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is a reaction carried out in vitro to amplify a specific DNA sequence or gene of interest and create its multiple copies.
  • PCR is used in DNA fingerprinting only when the DNA isolated from the biological sample is in very small amounts.
  • Thus, it is not mandatory to perform PCR in DNA fingerprinting.
