To amplify a section of DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), all you need to load into the
tube is 1) a buffer solution, 2) the DNA you want to amplify, 3) some DNA nucleotides, 4) a
polymerase (like Taq polymerase), and
O an RNA polymerase
a set of forward and reverse primers
some phospholipids for a cell membrane
some ribosomes
