question 10

Multiple Choice

Target nucleic acid amplification (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) methods are based on:

• A)the ability of two nucleic acid strands that have complementary base sequences to bond specifically with each other and form a double-stranded molecule.
• B)detecting phenotypic traits not detectable by conventional strategies.
• C)the principles of complementary nucleic acid hybridization with those of nucleic acid replication that are repeatedly applied through numerous cycles.
• D)determining the exact nucleotide sequence of a gene or gene fragment obtained from an organism.
