What would be the effect on the PCR reaction if any of the following circumstances : 1) there are two primers in the reaction, 2) there is Taq polymerase in the reaction The PCR reaction will not commence PCR would proceed normally Non-specific PCR of random templates will occur The reaction will cease after a few cycles
