In Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the temperature is one of the most important parameters that could influence the efficiency of this technique. Each cycle of this reaction has its own specific temperature. For instance, the denaturation step possesses a temperature of 94 - 98 ℃ to ensure that the double stranded DNA is fully separated. (i) Why is the annealing temperature vital in this technique? Explain how will this temperature affects the efficiency of this reaction.
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.

PCR - Polymerised chain reaction :
- The technique of generating multiple copies of a short stretch of DNA sequence without the use of a host quickly and accurately is called the polymerized chain reaction. This technique enables us to produce millions of copies of a short DNA fragment within a short span of time by utilizing molecular enzymes.
