Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.82P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The main steps in using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify a small amount of DNA should be described.
Concept Introduction:
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to make millions of copies of a single DNA fragment. By PCR, DNA sequences are exponentially amplified. Elements that are required for PCR are a segment of DNA, two primers. DNA polymerase enzyme and nucleoside triphosphates.
