$PCR$Plasmid
$(1)$ It is an abiotic method of $DNA$ amplification.$(1)$ It is a biotic vector molecule used for cloning.
$(2)$ $PCR$ can generate millions of copies of specific $DNA$ fragments in a short time.$(2)$ Being a biotic system,the number of copies obtained is generally lower and depends on the host cell replication.
$(3)$ $PCR$ is an in vitro process used to amplify specific $DNA$ sequences.$(3)$ Plasmids are used as vectors to introduce and replicate desired $DNA$ fragments within a living host cell.
$(4)$ The process involves cyclic steps: denaturation,annealing,and extension.$(4)$ Plasmid-based cloning involves restriction digestion,ligation,and transformation,not cyclic $PCR$ steps.
