Which of the following molecules is not required for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?
A
Primers
B
RNA polymerase
C
DNA polymerase
D
Deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is to amplify a specific segment of DNA.
Identify the key components required for PCR: DNA template, primers, DNA polymerase, and deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs).
Recognize that primers are short sequences of nucleotides that provide a starting point for DNA synthesis.
Note that DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the primers.
Realize that RNA polymerase is not involved in PCR, as it is used for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, not for DNA amplification.
