C

Exonuclease

D

Helicase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Taq DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable recombinant DNA polymerase. It is named after Thermus aquaticus, the heat-tolerant bacterium from which it is isolated. PCR relies upon Taq Polymerase, to produce numerous copies of a specific DNA region in vitro.
