These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. Choose any one of the following response to answer these questions. Both Assertion and Reasort are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion . Assertion is true but Reason is false Both Assertion and Reason are false: Assertion : During primer extension, the PCR mixture is heated to 75^@C to extend each primer by copying the single stranded template. Reason : The primary template synthesis DNA by using Taq-polymerase.
