Step-by-step solution
Let us match each technique with its correct principle or application: (A) PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is used for the in vitro amplification of nucleic acids (DNA). (B) ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a diagnostic test based on the principle of antigen-antibody interaction. (C) Autoradiography is used to detect mutated genes. A single-stranded DNA or RNA tagged with a radioactive molecule (probe) hybridises to its complementary DNA, and the clone having the mutated gene will not appear on the phot
