Chapter 4, Problem 20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given solution contains DNA polymerase and ${\text{Mg}}^{2+}$ salts of $\text{dATP}$, $\text{dGTP}$, $\text{dCTP}$ and TTP. The given DNA molecules are added to this solution, the DNA molecules that lead to the DNA synthesis need to be determined.

Concept introduction:

DNA carries the genetic code and genetic information of animals, plants, and bacteria. Friedrichfound the DNA for the first time in 1869. Francis Crick and James Watson first recgnized their molecular structure at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University in 1953. DNA primers with particular sequences in a single-stranded DNA molecule that bind to DNA. DNA strand is composed of Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine.
