Question

5' 1) Daniel is trying to design a PCR primer that will only bind once, on the gene above (only the bottom strand is shown for simplicity) Where will the primer TCCTGA bind? Draw it base-paired to the above piece of DNA b. Why shouldn't Daniel usethe primer TCCT - 2) What are the 3 heating steps of a PCR reaction? Describe what happens during each of them: Name of step 1. 2. 3. 9 3) Fill out the missing information on the following table about the components of a PCR reaction What happens during this step? Denatire onal fubn Reagent What does it do/what is its purpose? Maintains a constant pH, and contains cofactors for enzymes to work 4 Forward & reversevinmen (s) Heat tolerant enzyme, responsible for making a new DNA strand Template DNA

Daniel shouldn’t use the primer TCCT, because this primer binds to the two highlighted region (above mentioned) of the DNA.

Forward and reverse primer binds to the specific region of Forward and reverse strand of DNA template.
