Primers used in PCR are:
1.  a complementary DNA sequence synthesised on the template of hnRNA
2.  artificially synthesised or sequences used to induce replication of DNA
3.  a single-stranded sequence of DNA or RNA used to search for its complementary sequence in a sample genome
4.  small chemically synthesised oligonucletides that are complementary to the regions of DNA

The underlying basis of the Polymerase Chain Reaction is:

1. DNA synthesis and hence amplification can occur in a template independent manner.
2. DNA, being thermostable, can be amplified during the thermal cycle in PCR.
3. DNA polymerase I can synthesize large amounts of DNA.
4. PCR allows the direct amplification of DNA even if it is present in minute quantities.
