process?
o a. template = double stranded dna
o b. primer = short fragment of rna
o c. synthesis of the new dna = template strand read in the 3 to
5 direction
o d. all of the above choices are incorrect

Explanation:

• In PCR, the template is double - stranded DNA (a is correct).
• Primers in PCR are short fragments of DNA, not RNA (b is incorrect).
