Multiple Choice

The figure below shows the first cycle in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .
What is the role of the structure marked "P" in this figure?

A) The "P" represents the heat-tolerant DNA polymerase used in PCR to copy the gene of interest.
B) The "P" represents a sequence of DNA complementary to parts of the gene being amplified that allows DNA polymerase to attach to the gene.
