Heat: It denatures PCR. The ds DNA is heated at the temperature 95oC, both the strands separate.
Primers: Primers are the small oligonucleotides of varying length of about 10-18 nucleotide bases that are complementary to a region of template DNA and helps in the extension of new chain.
Thermus aquaticus: A specialized thermostable enzyme Taq DNA polymerase is isolated from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus which can tolerate high temperatures and forms new strand.
