Question

Who was awarded the Nobel Prize for the development of PCR technique?

विकल्प

• Kary Mullis

• Herbert Boyer

• J.D. Watson

• F.H.C. Crick

Answer 1

Kary Mullis

Explanation:

Kary Mullis introduced this method in 1985, which allows millions of copies of a specific DNA segment to be made quickly. The process involves repeated cycles of DNA strand separation, primer annealing, and extension by a heat-stable DNA polymerase enzyme (Taq polymerase), enabling rapid DNA amplification. This breakthrough significantly advanced genetic research and biotechnology applications.
