Who among the following was awarded the Nobal Prize for the development of PCR technique ?

Options

A. Herbert Boyer
B. Hargovind Khurana
C. Kary Mullis
D. Arthur Komberg

Answer

C

Explanation

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique was developed by Kary Mullis in 1985, and for this he received Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1993. H G Khurana discovered DNA legase enzyme into phage in 1969. White DNA polymerase was discovered by Arthur Komberg and Herbert Boyer generated first recombinant DNA molecule by combining a gene from a bacterium with plasmid of E.coli in 1972.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique is a reaction in which amplification of specific DNA sequence is carried out in vitro.
