In a typical PCR reaction, the following stages occur at temperature ranges of 92-95°C. Heating to 92-95°C allows the primers to bind to the denatured DNA. Heating to 92-95°C allows the heat-stable DNA polymerase an opportunity to extend the primers by adding nucleotides to the 3' ends of each growing strand. Heating to 92-95°C denatures the double-stranded DNA so that it dissociates into single strands.

In the very first round of $\mathrm{PCR}$ using genomic $\mathrm{DNA}$ the DNA primers prime synthesis that terminates only when the cycle ends (or when a random end of DNA is encountered $) .$ Yet, by the end of 20 to 30 cycles $-$ a typical amplification-the only visible product is defined precisely by the ends of the DNA primers. In what cycle is a double-stranded fragment of the correct size first generated?
