Question

g DNA polymerase is used in PCR to cut DNA sequences into fragments that can then be inserted into vectors. true of false

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is False.

The DNA polymerase is an enzyme that adds nucleotide bases to the growing chain during the elongation process of DNA replication. It is also utilized in the Polymerase Chain Reaction process to synthesize and amplify the DNA of interest.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is primarily carried out to amplify a DNA of interest in order to be able to study it in careful detail. Cutting of DNA into fragments is carried out by restriction enzyme and this is only done during genetic engineering when a foreign gene is to be inserted into a genome.
