the answer is A, because all the DNA polymerase from the Thermus aquaticus does is copy the human DNA template. The reason why the thermus aquaticus is used is because this process, PCR, utilizes high temperatures which denatures normal proteins. Thermus aquaticus is a bacteria found in hot springs at Yellowstone National Park, and thus can withstand those temperatures.

A the sythesis reproduces the template DNA regardless of the enzymes used T. aquaticus is used as an enzyme source because it is easy to use in the lab. We just cycle temperatures to run the different phases of the reaction.

specific! many times the try tube photos are crammed with multiple different shooters. I even have had them crammed with purple motherf*ckers, camicazee (?), lemon drops, and so on. it extremely is in many circumstances a mixed shot that the evening golf equipment make via the gallons and serve in those try tubey shot glasses.
