Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a reaction in which amplification of specific DNA sequences is carried out in vitro. Such repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus), which remain active and stable during the high temperature and induced denaturation of double-standard DNA.
