Chapter 20, Problem 19PDQ

(a)

Summary Introduction

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)

Summary Introduction

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 nucleotide sequence of target DNA must be known. The other is minor contamination of the sample can cause problems.

(c)

Summary Introduction

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.
