MCQ
Consider the following statement about $PCR$

$I.$ Polymerase Chain Reaction $(PCR)$ is a technique of synthesizing multiple copies of the desired gene in vitro

$II.$ This technique was developed by Kary Mullis in $1985$

$III.$ A single $PCR$ amplification cycle involves three basic steps; denaturation, annealing and extension

Which of the statement given above are correct?

  • A
    $I\; and \;II$
  • B
    $I \;and \;III$
  • C
    $II\; and\; III$
  • $I, II \;and \;III$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$I, II \;and \;III$
d
The Polymerase Chain Reaction or $PCR$, as it is commonly called, was originally invented by Kary Mulllis in $1985 .$ Kary Mulllis shared the Nobel Prize with Michael Smith in Chemistry in $1993 .$ PCR is best defined as the $DNA$ replication in vitro. $A$ single $PCR$ amplification cycle involves three basis steps; denaturation, annealing and extension (polymerization)
