Document Summary

The ability to amplify dna in a tube with the pcr technique was developed by kary mullis: Allows for the copying of millions of dna from very small iniial samples. She light on diagnosis of geneic defects, detecion of viral dna in cells, producing large amounts of dna from fossils containing trace amounts of dna and can link individuals to dna samples during invesigaions. Sample dna is placed into a tube with bufered soluion with essenial ion and salts and short single-stranded. Dna primers (15-30 nucleoides) that bind to the dna template. Free dntps (deoxyribonucleoides) are added to the tube to help the replicaion process. Pcr does not need many enzymes to unwind the helix, instead they are put in a thermocycler machine that goes through phases of heaing and cooling to help the dna replicaion process. Thermus aquaicus that are adapted to live in hot springs with temperatures above 95 oc.

The natural function of a DNA ligase enzyme is:

	Joining together DNA sequences with compatible cohesive ends from two different organisms to yield a recombinant DNA molecule
	Sealing single stranded nicks in double stranded DNA molecules

	Joining together two blunt ended fragments of DNA within a cell

The following times and temperatures are an example of the steps for PCR. You can use the Figure to help you answer the following questions.

Why is the first step is carried out at 94Â°C?

	To degrade the template
	To denature the template

	To activate the polymerase
	To facilitate the primer binding

What happens in the reaction when the temperature shifts to 55Â°C during cycling?

	the DNA polymerase will carry out DNA synthesis by extending the annealed primers
	the DNA polymerase will finish DNA synthesis

	the primers anneal to the single-stranded regions of the DNA
	the primers anneal to the double-stranded regions of the DNA

During cycling, what occurs when the temperature is at 72Â°C?

	the primers anneal to the double-stranded regions of the DNA
	the DNA polymerase will carry out DNA synthesis by extending the annealed primers

	the primers anneal to the single-stranded regions of the DNA
	the DNA polymerase will finish DNA synthesis

	The end of cycle 1
	The end of cycle 2

	The end of cycle3
	The end of cycle 4
