Question

Amplification of gene of interest by using DNA polymerase may go upto

• A. 0.1 million times
• B. 1.0 million times
• C. 1.0 billion times
• D. 1.0 trillion times

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

1.0 billion times

Answer 2

If the process of replication of DNA is repeated many times, the segment of DNA can be amplified to approximately a billion times, i. e., $1$ billion copies are made. Such repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a the mostable DNA polymerase.
