because it is very rapid, so lots of copies of DNA can be produced from a minute amount of DNA
3
Q
Why is it beneficial that no living organisms are needed for in vitro gene cloning?
A
-no complex culturing
-DNA sequence does not need to be changed
4

as no risk of contaminants
PCR is easily affected by contaminants if sample is not pure
mutations are rare
