Question

Use of a thermostable DNA polymerase from the bacterium, Thermus aquatics, made it possible to generate a billion copies of DNA in a very short time using a process. Name the process.

Answer 1

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the process in which the amplification of the gene of interest is carried out with two sets of primers and a thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme Taq polymerase.
