PCR & Electrophoresis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does PCR stand for? | Polymerase Chain Reaction |
| At which temperatures is Polymerase Chain Reaction done? | 95, 55, 70 |
| What three things are added to the DNA before the first stage of PCR? | DNA Polymerase, DNA Primers, Nucleotides |
| What happens at 95 degrees? | DNA separates into 2 strands. |
| What happens at 55 degrees? | Primers fit to the STR sequence. |
| What does STR stand for? | Short Tandem Repeat or Satellite Repeated Sequence. |
| What happens at 70 degrees? | DNA polymerase is attached and Nucleotides are added. The DNA is then replicated. |
| What is the Polymerase Chain Reaction used for? | To make more DNA. |
| What are DNA Primers? | Short sequence of DNA complimentary to the DNA adjacent to the STR. |
| What is the process in which the Polymerase Chain Reaction is done? | Gel Electrophoresis. |
| What substance is the DNA put in during Gel Electrophoresis? | Agarose Gel |
| What solution is used in Electrophoresis? | Buffer solution |
| Which electrode does the DNA move towards? | Positive |
| Which travel faster, small fragments of DNA or large fragments? | Small fragments |
