उत्तर
Bacterium Thermus aquaticus produces an enzyme called Taq polymerase, which is resistant to denaturation by heat treatment. This enzyme is used to amplify a specific DNA fragment in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The enzyme utilizes building blocks [dNTPs (deoxynucleotides)] to extend the primer.
