Which of the following is a correct sequence of steps in a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)?
- AExtension, Denaturation, Annealing
- BAnnealing, Denaturation, Extension
- CDenaturation, Annealing, Extension
- DDenaturation, Extension, Annealing
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
[Image showing the three steps of PCR: Denaturation, Annealing, and Extension]The PCR cycle consists of three steps:Denaturation: Heating to separate DNA strands ().Annealing: Primers bind to the template strands ().Extension: DNA polymerase adds nucleotides ().
