The PCR has the following steps:
Preparation of the PCR mix is made in the following way:
1. The process starts with the segment of DNA of interest being added to the tube.
2. A PCR cocktail made of excess nucleotides, PCR primers and taq polymerase are added to the DNA.
The first step in PCR is the denaturation where the DNA strand are separated.
3. The tube is heated to 95 degrees Celsius.
4. Hydrogen bonds between the two strand of DNA denature.
Annealing of the DNA happens with primers
5. Tube is cooled to 70 degrees Celsius.
6. PCR primers attach to the parent DNA.
Extension happens and the DNA is replicated.
7. Taq polymerase reads the parent DNA and attaches the correct nucleotides.
8. Semiconservative replication is completed and repeated.
If you have any query kindly comment before giving thumbs up. Thank you.
help please Put the following steps to the Polymerase Chain Reaction in correc order 1st Tube...
1.The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) protocol that is currently used in laboratories was facilitated by the discovery of a bacterium called Thermus aquaticus in a hot spring inside Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming. This organism contains a heat-stable form of DNA polymerase known as Taq polymerase, which continues to function even after it has been heated to 95°C. a.Why would such a heat-stable polymerase be beneficial in PCR? b.What would happen if it weren’t heat stable? c.How might you choose...
