NEET Zoology Recombinant DNA Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The amplified DNA fragment can be ligated with a vector after using a thermostable DNA polymerase.

Reason (R): Thermostable DNA polymerases are crucial for maintaining enzyme activity during high-temperature DNA denaturation.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context explains that a thermostable DNA polymerase is used to amplify DNA segments, which can then be ligated with a vector. The thermostable nature of the polymerase is essential for its activity during high-temperature denaturation.
