Kerry Mullis invented PCR based on what observation about DNA synthesis in cells?
The process of replication is the base which helps him to design PCR.
in the process of replication:
A new DNA is synthesized by the reading of complementary old DNA strand. The mode of replication of DNA is semiconservative in which old strand of DNA directs the synthesis of new DNA. Sequance of old nucleotides were readed by enzyme and complementary new nucleotides were attached.
Complementary nucleotides: pairing of two strand of DNA double helix occurs by the pairing of nitrogenous bases which binds complementarily to each other.
A binds with T and
C binds with G
These pairing rule makes more specificity for replication and PCR.
Role of enzyme: In the process of replication DNA polymerase enzyme do chain elongation by encorporation of nucleotides. Polymerase is essential for synthesis.
In PCR taq polymerase is used for the synthesis of DNA
Use of free nucleotides: both process requires free nucleotides in the medium for the synthesis of DNA
Primers: in replication process primers of RNA was synthesized by primase enzyme.
In the PCR readymade primers are suplied.
These all things increased the chances of designing PCR process and making it more effecient and easy. Due to availibilty of all alternatives it becomes possible to do amplification of DNA very easily with the help of PCR.

Some of the PCR techniques for DNA amplification are: Regular PCR Hot start PCR High-Fidelity PCR Immuno PCR. Real-time PCR ------------------------------------ 2. The following information about Taq DNA polymerase is/are correct. Taq DNA polymerase was discovered by Kary Mullis in 1983. The entire Taq DNA polymerase reaction (PCR) technique was bought by Perkin Elmer in the range of $120 million. Kary Mullis received a Nobel prize in 1993 for discovering Taq DNA polymerase. Taq DNA polymerase was isolated from Thermus aquaticus....
Which of the following statements about the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is false? a The DNA ligase used is from a thermophilic bacteria so that it can resist denaturation at high temperatures. b Newly synthesized DNA must be heat-denatured before the next round of DNA synthesis begins. c The boundaries of the amplified DNA segment are determined by the synthetic oligonucleotides used to prime DNA synthesis. d DNA amplified by PCR can be cloned.
What is protein synthesis? Protein synthesis is the process through which cells read DNA, and then edit it in order to produce a genome that is more fit for future generations. Protein synthesis is the process through which cells capture DNA and chemically "force" it to do their "bidding." Protein synthesis is the process through which cells read DNA and build the molecular components of new cells. Protein synthesis is the process through which cells decay, also known as necrosis.

1) What happens to DNA synthesis when a dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate ( ddNTP) is added to a growing DNA chain ( rather than the normal deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) ? 2) About how many copies of DNA are made after 10 cycle of PCR ? 3) What are we doing when we amplify a particular DNA segment ? 4) How are DNA fragments stored in a cDNA library ? 5) What is the basic purpose of a DNA microarray ? Please answer all...
Cells use RNA strands to serve as primers. PCR techniques for amplifying DNA samples use pre-synthesized DNA primers. Explain why RNA primers are not used when replicating DNA fragments in vitro.
Today we amplified 50 ng of Bos taurus (calf) DNA by PCR. This amount of DNA contains about 15,000 molecules of the insulin gene [50 ng DNA= 2.5 x 10-20mol; (2.5x10-20)x(6.023×1023) = 1.5 x 104molecules]. We performed PCR for 35 cycles to amplify the amount of this gene. a. What is the theoretical fold amount of DNA amplified by 35 cycles of PCR (remember the 2Nformula)? b. How many molecules of the insulin gene would, therefore, be present after PCR?
Hi, what are 3 benefits to using recombinant DNA over PCR as someone in the lab? So, I don't mean its applications per say (i.e. DNA Fingerprinting). I want to know what is it about each that make what I would choose for a particular job (i.e. in addition to PCR ideal for discrete regions vs gene libraries and expression vectors for recombinant DNA). Cost and ease of processes is already understood).
EXPLAIN each answer thoroughly. There are two common goals when using PCR to amplify DNA. A. Make lots of copies of a specific DNA sequence to use in cloning (preparative PCR) B. Detect the presence or relative amount of a specific gene under varying conditions (analytical PCR) *Remember: PCR is very similiar to DNA replication, but uses a DNA polymerase to amplify only specific parts of DNA sequence based on the sequence of the primers. 3. For which goal (A...
answer these questions regarding PCR and DNA "fingerprinting" 1. Explain the concept of DNA” fingerprinting”. What is the reason that it is referred to as fingerprinting? 2. Explain the concept of restriction enzymes and how they are used for DNA mapping. Discuss the concept of PCR as it applies to this process. 3. Explain what is occurring at each location along the thin wires at either end in the electrophoresis box. note that fine bubbles were occurring
