After Heat the mixture to separate mRNA and cDNA strands, and then eliminate the mRNA transcript. The 3’ ends of the cDNA strands loop around and bind by chance to complementary nucleotides within the same strand, forming a “hairpin loop” that serves as the primer for DNA polymerization, what is step 4 of making a cDNA library?

Expert Solution
Step 1

cDNA (complementary deoxyribonucleic acid) is a synthetic nucleic acid molecule synthesized in-vitro with the use of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) as a template. The reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme is a specialized enzyme that performs this function. The cDNA molecule is devoid of any non-coding regions like regulatory sequences and introns.
