I don't think answering your homework questions is the best use of RG.

Laurence Stuart Dawkins-Hall

If this is a purely academic question then the following:

1. Sequence the product to confirm the identity of the DNA from which PCR fragment was derived

2. Clone into an expression vector if an open reading frame to express a fragment of protein for biochemical studies

There are many many (more) applications...

Katie A Burnette

So many possibilities!

But this sounds like an attempt to get answers to a homework question. Go read your textbook, look at product manuals for PCR kits, etc.
