Polymerase chain reaction can amplify DNA, producing about 1 billion copies in 30 cycles. The correct sequence of the steps of this reaction is:
1.
Denaturation → Annealing of primers → Extension of primers
2.
Denaturation → Extension of primers → Annealing of primers
3.
Extension of primers → Annealing of primers → Denaturation
4.
Annealing of primers → Extension of primers → Denaturation
