#Applied Microbiology

Assertion (A): Taq polymerase is preferred over normal DNA polymerases (like E. coli DNA Pol I) for PCR.

Reason (R): Taq polymerase has a proofreading activity (3'-------5'exonuclease) that ensures zero errors during amplification.

Match the PCR step in Column I with the correct temperature range or characteristic in Column II.

Column I (PCR Step)	Column II (Condition / Event)
A. Denaturation	1. ~72 °C; Optimum for Taq polymerase activity
B. Annealing	2. ~94 °C; Hydrogen bonds break to separate DNA strands
C. Extension	3. ~4 °C; Short-term storage after cycling
D. Final Hold	4. ~50–65 °C; Primers bind to the template
