Question

In reference to DNA polymerase III, which statement is wrong?

• A. It requires ATP For polymerase action.
• B. Required for PCR
• C. More active than DNA Pol I & II
• D. Requires a previously made template to work on

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Required for PCR

Like DNA replication in an organism, PCR requires a DNA polymerase enzyme that makes new strands of DNA, using existing strands as templates. The DNA polymerase typically used in PCR is called Taq polymerase, after the heat-tolerant bacterium from which it was isolated (Thermus aquaticus).

So, the correct option is 'Required for PCR'.
