Question

Assertion (A): Primers are used in polymerase chain reaction technique. Reason (R): Primers is used for the addition of new DNA nucleotides.

• A. A and R are correct. R is the correct explanation of A
• B. A and R are correct. R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is incorrect
• D. A is incorrect but R is correct

Hint:

Understanding each component's function in PCR is crucial for designing effective and specific genetic experiments.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Clarifying the role of primers in PCR. 
While primers are indeed used in PCR to define the starting point for DNA synthesis, their role is not to add nucleotides but to anneal to specific sequences allowing polymerases to extend the DNA strand.
