1. | Denaturation | - | Phosphodiester bonds break |
2. | Annealing | - | Primers anneal at 5' end of DNA template |
3. | Extension | - | Taq polymerase forms hydrogen bonds between adjacent nucleotides of growing DNA strand |
4. | Extension | - | Thermostable DNA polymerase adds nucleotide to 3' end of primers |
Assertion (A): | Synthetic oligonucleotide polymers are used during annealing in a PCR. |
Reason (R): | The primers bind to the double stranded DNA at their complementary regions. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | The use of Taq polymerase has greatly facilitated the amplification of DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction. |
Reason (R): | Taq polymerase is a DNA polymerase. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
