Interpretation:
The reason for the mixture of poly(A), poly(B) and the three DNAs shown in the curve to vary with respect to the C0t value needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The C0t value analysis is a technique used to measure the complexity in the size of DNA or gene and this technique is based on DNA renaturation kinetics.
This technique states the following principles:
- Renaturation rate is directly proportional to the number of times the sequences exist on the DNA Strand.
- When enough time is given all the denatured DNA are re-associated or reannealed.
- Renaturation takes the least time when there is more repetition of the sequences.
The renaturation process carried out by heating the DNA and allowing it to cool down to reanneal.
The C0t value depends on − DNA Concentration, reassociation temperature, cation concentration, and viscosity and is given by the equation:
Lower C0t value shows more repetition of sequences while Higher C0t value indicates a greater number of unique sequences.

- a) It is known that double stranded DNA is denatured at low pH. pKa values should allow the determination of whether this is due to perturbation of the hydrogen bonding in A-T and/or G-C base pairs.

It associates with the parental template, adds a few nucleotides to the growing chain, and then dissociates prior to initiating another synthesis cycle. 3. It maintains a high fidelity of replication, in part by acting in conjunction with a subunit containing a 3' -> 5' exonuclease activity. 4.
