NEET Zoology Recombinant DNA Assertion Reason Question
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.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
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.
