<u>Answer:</u>
Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen around 200 million years ago.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Many scientists believed that Earth did not have any oxygen. Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the microbes which produced oxygen for the first time with the help of photosynthesis. This was around 4.5 billion years ago: after Hadean eon.
They were very simple, but they produced oxygen in the early earth’s atmosphere. So, they brought evolution on earth. This “blue-green algae” exists in salt water, rocks and soils and play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem.
The use of a thermophilic DNA polymerase such as Taq polymerase prevents the denaturation of the enzyme during the heating that is important to separate the newly synthesized strand. So using this enzyme simplifies the PCR technique and increases its efficiency.
Taq DNA polymerase is highly efficient, when it reaches the optimum temperature, it becomes fully functional. It also has a half-life of over two hours (at 92°C), high amplification capacity, and it can add upto 150 nucleotides per second. It is "special" enzyme because it comes from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus, which lives in hot springs. It is therefore thermostable even at high temperatures, while other polymerases (e.g. E. coli) are not.

Answer:
Explanation:
The double-stranded DNA molecule has the potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in most organisms <u>only one strand is used to encode any particular gene</u>.
The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).
Thus, genetic information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand of DNA, <u>which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence as the coding strand of DNA</u>. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.
