Question

Question: Why do you think it is necessary to use a thermostable form of DNA polymerase (e.g. Taq polymerase) used in PCR? Is it necessary to use a thermostable form of DNA polymerase in the techniques of dideoxy DNA sequencing or site-directed mutagenesis?

Please explain clearly to help understand this concept. I will not award karma points for cut and paste answers from wiki and other websites, I will check for this. If you help me understand this topic I will award full karma points. Thanks for your help

Explanation / Answer

during the PCR WORKING, THERE IS ANNEALING AND DENATURATION OF DNA AS TEMPERATURE RISES UPTO 90 DEGREE denaturation of DNA WHICH REQUIRE THERMOSTABLE TAQ POLYMERASE
