Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a reaction in which amplification of specific DNA sequences is carried out in vitro. Such repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus), which remain active and stable during the high temperature and induced denaturation of double-standard DNA.

A bacterial cell was transformed with a recombinant DNA that was generated using a human gene. However, the transformed cells did not produce the desired protein. Reasons could be
  1. Human gene may have intron which bacteria cannot process.
  2. Amino acid codons for humans and bacteria are different.
  3. Human protein is formed but degraded by bacteria.
  4. All of the above.
