Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The essential ingredients for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) are nucleotides (to synthesize the new DNA strand), a DNA template (the DNA sequence to be amplified), Taq polymerase (the heat-stable DNA polymerase that synthesizes the new DNA strands), and primers (short DNA sequences that initiate the DNA synthesis).
