The figure below shows three steps (I, II, III) of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Select the option giving correct identification together with what it represents?
Options
- AB-Denaturation at a temperature of about 98^ C separating the two DNA strands
- BA-Denaturation at a temperature of about 50^ C
- CC-Extension in the presence of heat stable DNA polymerase
- DA-Annealing with two sets of primers
Correct answer
C. C-Extension in the presence of heat stable DNA polymerase
Step-by-step solution
There are three steps in polymerase chain reaction namely. (i) Denaturation-at 94^ C for DNA strand separation. (ii) Annealing-binding of primer. (iii) Extension in presence of DNA polymerase which is heat stable.
