Explain how the following PCR Master Mix components work together during a reaction
List the conditions needed to achieve amplification
PCR Components
Contributions to PCR & Conditions to Function
Primer & Template DNA
The primers are the critical component of the reaction because they determine the specificity of the PCR. Primers’ function is to contain sequences complementary to sites flanking the region to be analyzed. Primer design is therefore a critical aspect of the PCR. Now template
MgCl2 & Buffer
Polymerase and dNTP
List, in the first column, the name for each of the three steps programmed into a thermocycler as part of the Polymerase Chain Reaction and in the second column describe what occurs during each step. For each step, include the desired temperature.
