The enzyme used in the polymerase chain reaction is a :
(1) DNA dependent RNA polymerase
(2) RNA dependent DNA polymerase
(3) DNA dependent DNA polymerase
(4) RNA dependent RNA polymerase
Taq polymerase is used in the polymerase chain reaction because:
(1) It replicates DNA faster than other enzymes
(2) It is the only enzyme that can replicate DNA invitro
(3) It does not require an RNA primer to function
(4) It is thermostable

lll. Step C occurs at the temperature of 72 C
1. l and ll only
2. l and lll only
3. ll and lll only
4. l, ll and lll
Which one is a true statement regarding DNA polymerase used in PCR?

2. It serves as a selectable marker
3. It is isolated from a virus
4. It remains active at high temperature
Select the correct order of processing of PCR.
(1) Extension, primer annealing, denaturation
