Question
Match the terms associated with the polymerase chain reaction with their correct descriptions.
Refers to the fact that DNA molecules get longer the more of them there are in the reaction.
A.
В.
Heat the sample to a high temperature (usually 94°C) to separate all DNA strands from each other.
Denaturation
C.
Incubate the reaction at the optimal temperature for the primers to base-pair with each other.
Annealing.
D.
Incubate at a low enough temperature (usually-55°C) so that primers base-pair with their complementary sequence.
Extension.
Add a chaotropic agent that destabilizes hydrogen bonding.
E.
Amplification.
F. Incubate the sample at a temperature that is optimal for thermostable Taq DNA polymerase (usually -72°C).
G.
Happens after repeated cycles of the temperature change regimen.
Refers to the quadrupling of the target DNA sequence in every cycle of the temperature regimen.
Н.
