What is the function of DNA polymerase in the process of PCR?
It separates the two DNA strands so that replication may occur.
It recognizes the primers and uses the available dNTPs to replicate the template DNA sequence.
It synthesizes primers and uses the available dNTPs to replicate the template DNA sequence.
It links the products of PCR together to generate a complete strand.

8.
Studies have shown that increased expression of two genes called SIRT1 and SIRT2 is associated with
chronic exposure to cocaine and contributes to drug addiction.
What difference in the regions of the SIRT1 and SIRT2 genes in people addicted to cocaine increases
their expression?
The DNA bases are chemically modified with methyl groups.
The nucleosomes become more widely spaced.
Transcription factors have less access to the promoter region.
RNA polymerase cannot bind better to the terminator region.
