DNA can be denatured by heating at a gene in temperature of

A. 94°C

B. 86°C

C. 90°C

D. 80°C

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

DNA can be denatured by heating a gene at a temperature of 94°C.
DNA can be denatured through the heat in a process that is very similar to melting. Heat is applied until the DNA has unwound itself and separated into two single strands.
This initial denaturation step usually occurs at around 94°C, depending on the specific polymerase involved. To fully denature the DNA, initial denaturation can take up to 2 minutes.
