Which enzyme is responsible for the replication of recombinant $DNA$ in the host?

$A$ mixture of fragmented $DNA$ was electrophoresed in an agarose gel. After staining the gel with ethidium bromide,no $DNA$ bands were observed. What could be the reason?

Consider the following statements about $PCR$:
$I.$ Polymerase Chain Reaction $(PCR)$ is a technique of synthesizing multiple copies of the desired gene in vitro.
$II.$ This technique was developed by Kary Mullis in $1985$.
$III.$ $A$ single $PCR$ amplification cycle involves three basic steps: denaturation,annealing,and extension.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

What is the first step in the Southern blot technique?

In which method is recombinant $DNA$ directly injected into the nucleus of an animal cell?

Gene amplification using primers can be done by
