During the process of gene amplification using PCR, if a very high temperature is not maintained in the beginning, then which of the following steps of PCR will be affected first?NEET 2021

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Denaturation -94-95°C, annealing- 50-60°C, extension- 72°C. Since maximum temperature is required during denaturation, it will be affected the most.

The initial denaturation step is carried out at the beginning of PCR to separate the double-stranded template DNA into single strands so that the primers can bind to the target region and initiate extension.
