Why is it important to use a hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase in PCR?
a) Because only hyperthermophiles have DNA polymerases.
b) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is able to resist the saline reaction conditions.
c) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is faster than other polymerases.
d) Because hyperthermophilic DNA polymerase is able to resist denaturation at 95℃.
What is PCR? why is it important for the manufacture of drugs? How is it used in forensic science?
Frederick Griffith documented bacterial transformation. Which statement is true concerning his experiments?
DNA that was not contained within a live cell caused the death of the host organism.
DNA from dead Streptococcus cells entered live cells and altered the live cell's characteristics.
The two strains of Streptococcus were visually indistinguishable.
Heat treatment of the Streptococcus strains destroyed the DNA molecules.
