(a)
To determine: The process which occurs at a temperature range of 92-95 °C in a PCR reaction.
Introduction: The polymerase chain reaction is a method used to produce multiple copies of a specific DNA segment. Thousands to millions copies of a specific DNA fragment are produced by using PCR.
(b)
To determine: The process which occurs at a temperature range of 45-65 °C in a PCR reaction.
Introduction: The PCR has two limitations; to synthesize primers; some information about the
(c)
To determine: The process which occurs at a temperature range of 65-75 °C in PCR reaction.
Introduction: The PCR has many advantages such as it is an important tool for detecting bacteria and viruses. The technique is advantageous for studying the samples from single cells, fossils, and the crime scene.

- If you are trying to set up a PCR with a total volume of 40uL and you have access to a stock solution of 5x buffer, how much 5x buffer will you be adding to the PCR? ___uL?arrow_forward. In the PCR process, if we assume that each cycle takes5 minutes, how manyfold amplification would be accomplished in 1 hour?arrow_forwardIf you wanted to prepare only one PCR reaction, how much of each reagent would you add to the PCR tube?] What is the final volume of the individual PCR reactions we are making?arrow_forward
- In PCR amplification Why is it important to know the length of the sequence you amplify?arrow_forwardWhat would be the final primer concentration if 0.5 μl of 10 μM primers were added to a PCR reaction with a final volume of 20 μl?arrow_forwardThe best combination of regeants for a typical PCR reacion would include the following concentration of reagents: a. 1x buffer, 1.5 mMm MgCl2, 0.5nM primers, 10mMdNTPs, 2units Taq, 1010 copies of template b. none of these answers c. 1x buffer, 1.5 mMm MgCl2, 0.5pM primers, 10mMdNTPs, 2units Taq, 105 copies of template d. 1x buffer, 1.5 mMm NH3 Cl2, 0.5pM primers, 10mMdNTPs, 2units Taq, 102 copies of template e. 1x buffer, 1.5 mMm KCL2 , 0.5nM primers, 10mMdNTPs, 2units Taq, 103copies of template thank you!!arrow_forward
- Name four reagents used during a PCR reactionarrow_forwardYou have added 4 μl of a 5 μM stock primer to a 25 μl PCR reaction. What is the amountof primer in nanomol that you have added to the reaction?arrow_forwardWhat determines the size (length) of the primary PCR product? What might a successful gel check of a PCR reaction look like?arrow_forward
- In a 25 uL reaction, you desire a buffer concentration of 1X. You will be supplied with a stock solution of PCR buffer having a concentration of 10X. To a single 25 uL, how much 10X PCR buffer should be added to give a final concentration of 1X PCR buffer?arrow_forwardThe final amount of each primer required in a PCR reaction is 25 picomol. If the total volume of the PCR reaction is equal to 100 µl and the stock concentration of each primer is equal to 0.0025 mM. Calculate the volume of stock primer that needs to be added in order to ensure a primer amount of 25 picomol.arrow_forwardWhy is it possible to visualize a PCR product on an agarose gel even if the template genome is present at such a low concentration that it cannot be seen?arrow_forward
