Taq polymerase is used for amplification of DNA/ gene, (usually enzymes get denatured) Taq polymerase is thermostable remains active at high temperature, It is obtained from Thermus aquaticus.
Detailed Answer :
Thennostable Taq polymerase extends the primers using nucleotides provided in the reaction and genomic DNA as template. Amplified fragments are ligated.
The source of this enzyme is Thermus aquaticus.
