Relaxin
<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>

Answer:
A Ligase
B False
C To separate the double‑stranded DNA
Explanation:
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories in order to make millions of copies of a specific sequence of DNA. PCR requires deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) to synthesize new copies of the target DNA fragment, a thermostable DNA polymerase that adds nucleotides to new DNA strands, and primers that attach to complementary ends at each DNA strand. PCR has three phases: 1-Denaturation, where the double-stranded DNA molecule is heated to separate it into two single (separated) strands; 2-annealing, where the temperature is lowered in order to allow the primers to attach each DNA strand, and 3- extension, where the temperature is increased (again), and the thermostable DNA polymerase adds the appropriate dNTPs to new DNA strands. In consequence, annealing occurs at the lowest temperature. Moreover, during the denaturation stage, the temperature is increased at 90–95°C in order to denature the DNA strands into single strands.
