Polymerase chain reaction is useful in
-
Locating simple sequence repeats
-
Locating variable number of tandem repeats
-
Developing restriction maps
-
Amplification of specific DNA segment.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used in molecular biology to make many copies of a specific DNA segment. Using PCR, a single copy (or more) of a DNA sequence is exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment.
DNA taq polymerase enzyme is isolated from which bacteria?
-
Agrobacterium
-
Thermus aquaticus
-
Bacillus thuringiensis
-
E.coli
DNA polymerase enzyme was isolated from a thermophilc bacteria called Thermus aquaticus. This is an enzyme used frequently to make multiple copies of segment of DNA by a technique called polymerase chain reaction.
The whole cycle of gene amplification requires
-
15 minutes
-
30 minutes
-
3 hours
-
24 hours.
The denaturation stage of PCR takes about 1–2 minutes. The thermocycler then lowers the temperature to about 50° to 60°C, which allows the short, oligonucleotide primers to anneal to their complementary sequences on the single-stranded DNA molecules. The annealing stage of PCR lasts about 30 seconds. Hence, the whole cycle of gene amplification requires 30 minutes.

How many copies of the DNA sample are produced in PCR technique after 6-cycle?
-

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that exponentially amplifies a single copy of a specific DNA segment. It generates thousands of copies of that specific DNA segment. After completion of one cycle, 2 copies are produced from a single DNA segment. After completion of the second cycle, 2$^2$ = 4 copies are produced. Similarly, after n$^{th}$ cycle, 2$^2$ copies are produced, where n is the number of cycles. Hence, after completion of 6 cycle, 2$^6$ = 64 copies will be produced.
Which of the following is not necessary to execute polymerase chain reaction successfully?
-
All four DNA bases
-
Short DNA base pairs
-
DNA polymerase
-
DNA library
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is widely used the method in genetic engineering to prepare the multiple copies of desired DNA. It includes steps of denaturation, annealing extension and last amplification. As DNA is the polymer of four DNA bases present in the base pair and polymerase chain reaction is done in the presence of DNA polymerase enzyme of the DNA that re-studies by the researchers which is said to be DNA library so it is not required in the reaction.
