Answer: DNA replication

The polymerase chain reaction or PCR is a process similar to the DNA replication but using the machinery of heat-resistant bacteria, resulting in millions of copies of a specific sequence of DNA. That sequence can later be seen through electrophoresis. Both the PCR and the DNA replication of the cell lead to copies of DNA template.
