the procedure of PCR and prokaryotic replication
Are the proteins specific to this process? Do the proteins haveany special qualities that make them different between replicationand PCR? What is going on in the process? Why or how does itwork? How is DNA replication different than PCR?How is it the same? What proteins/molecules/processes are differentor the same?

1. Compare DNA replication in a typical cell to the synthetic DNA replication that happens during the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Fill in the missing information that describes how each process is accomplished (i.e. enzyme name or other method) in each. Two answers are given as example:
| Event | Cell | PCR |
| Unwinding of DNA Strands | DNA Helicase | |
| Primer Synthesis | Synthetic primers added | |
| New DNA Strand synthesis |
2. Heating proteins to 94ΓΒ°C would destroy the function of most human or bacterial enzymes, including DNA Polymerase. How is this avoided during the DNA strand synthesis step in PCR?
3. What are the two major factors that influence the rate at which DNA amplicons move through an electrophoresis gel?
