What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?

उत्तर १
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is another device used for gene cloning or gene multiplication in vitro.
उत्तर २
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an in vitro technique used to generate millions of copies of a specific DNA segment rapidly. PCR involves three main steps repeated in cycles: denaturation (heating DNA to separate strands), annealing (binding of primers to target DNA), and extension (DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA). The enzyme used is Taq polymerase, which is heat-stable and derived from Thermus aquaticus. PCR amplifies DNA to make numerous copies from a small initial sample, facilitating genetic research and diagnostics.

| Oil spill is a major environmental issue. It has been found that different strains of Pseudomonas bacteria have genes to break down the four major groups of hydrocarbons in oil. Trials are underway to use different biotechnological tools to incorporate these genes and create a genetically engineered strain of Pseudomonas - a ‘super-bug’, to break down the four major groups of hydrocarbons in oil. Such bacteria might be sprayed onto surfaces polluted with oil to clean thin films of oil. |
(a) List two advantages of using bacteria for such biotechnological studies?
(b) For amplification of the gene of interest PCR was carried out. The PCR was run with the help of polymerase which was functional only at a very low temperature. How will this impact the efficiency of the PCR? Justify.
(c) If such bacteria are sprayed on water bodies with oil spills, how will this have a positive or negative effect on the environment? Discuss.
