Question

explain pcr techniques

Answer 1

Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR), a technique used to make numerous copies of a specific segment of DNA quickly and accurately. The polymerase chain reaction enables investigators to obtain the large quantities of DNA that are required for various experiments and procedures in molecular biology, forensic analysis, evolutionary biology, and medical diagnostics.PCR was developed in 1983 by Kary B. Mullis, an American biochemist who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993 for his invention. Before the development of PCR, the methods used to amplify, or generate copies of, recombinant DNA fragments were time-consuming and labour-intensive. In contrast, a machine designed to carry out PCR reactions can complete many rounds of replication, producing billions of copies of a DNA fragment, in only a few hours.

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER



POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an important tool for many applications. For example, it can be used to amplify a sample of DNA when there isn’t enough to analyze (e.g. a sample of DNA from a crime scene, archeological samples), as a method of identifying a gene of interest, or to test for disease.

The method uses specifically designed primers that are complementary to the sequence to be amplified. The primers provide a starting point for the extension of the DNA by a DNA polymerase (usually Taq or Pfu polymerase). Amplification is carried out in cycles. First, the DNA sample is heated up to separate the double strands. The sample is cooled slowly, allowing the primers to bind. Then, the sample is incubated at 72°C so that the DNA Polymerase can extend the primers, creating a long complementary strand of DNA. In this way, one double strand of DNA becomes 2, 2 become 4, 4 become 8 and so on.
