(c) In polymerase chain reaction polymerisation or extension step is catalysed by Taq polymerase enzyme. PCR is carried out in the following three steps-
(i)   Denaturation The double-stranded DNA is denatured by applying high temperature of 95°C for 15 seconds. Each separated single stranded strand now acts as template for DNA synthesis.
(ii)   Annealing Two sets of primers are added which anneal to the 3 end of each separated strand. Primers act as initiators of replication.
(iii)  Extension DNA polymerase extends the primers by adding nucleotides complementary to the template provided in the reaction.
A thermostable DNA polymerase (Taq DNA polymerase) is used in the reaction which can tolerate the high temperature of the reaction.
All these steps are repeated many times to obtain several copies of desired DNA.

In the background section, the authors wrote, "We hypothesized that early postnatal growth restriction would result in poorer neurodevelopment and lead to improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity." Is the hypothesis in the quote a null hypothesis or an alternative hypothesis? (1 point) 2. How do you know that your answer to question 1 is correct? (1 point) 3. In the background section, the authors wrote, "We further hypothesized that in EUGR rats, early catch-up growth would lead to improved neurodevelopment but reduced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance compared to EUGR rats that did not have early catch-up growth." Is the hypothesis in the quote a null hypothesis or an alternative hypothesis? (1 point) 4. How do you know that the answer to question 3 is correct? (1 point) 5.
