Which of the following has popularised the PCR (polymerase chain react – InterviewSolution

1.	Which of the following has popularised the PCR (polymerase chain reactions)?A. Easy availability of DNA templateB. Availability of synthetic primeresC. Availability of cheap deoxyribonucleotides.D. Availability of Thermostable DNA polymerase
Answer» The polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a reaction in which amplification of specific DNA sequcne is carried out in vitro. Such repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (Isolated from a bacterium, Themus aquaticus), which remain active and stable during the high temperature and induced denaturation of double standard DNA.
