Identify whether each statement corresponds to Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3 of the PCR cycle. Step 1 sample is cooled to around 50 °C primers bind to single-stranded DNA Step 2 Answer Bank sample is heated to around 95 °C Step heat-resistant DNA polymerase synthesizes new cop strands of the original double-stranded DNA separate sample is heated to around 72

Step 1
This step is known as the annealing step, where the temperature is lowered to allow primers to attach to the single-stranded DNA template. Show more…

Which of the following best describes the complete sequence of steps, in order, occurring during every cycle of PCR? 1. The primers bind to the template DNA. 2. The PCR mixture is heated to a high temperature to denature the double-stranded template DNA. 3. Helicase is added to the PCR mixture. 4. DNA polymerase extends the primers to make a replicated copy of the template DNA. Select one: a. 2,1,4 b. 1,2,3,4 c. 3,4,1,2 d. 2,3,4

Organize the following steps of a PCR cycle in the correct sequence. 1. The mixture is cooled to allow the binding of primers to the end of target DNA sequences. 2. Free nucleotides are added in the 5' to 3' direction by the Taq DNA polymerase. 3. The reaction mixture is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA. 1, 2, 3 1, 3, 2 2, 1, 3 2, 3, 1 3, 1, 2 3, 2, 1
