Frage
At what temperature should the extension stage of PCR taken place at?
Antworten
  • 90 degrees
  • 50-65 degrees
  • 72 degrees

Frage 28

Frage
If there were four strands of DNA in the PCR before one cycle, how many would there be after the cycle has completed?
Antworten
  • Four
  • Eight
  • Sixteen

Frage 29

Frage
What is the purpose of the denaturation stage of PCR?
Antworten
  • To separate the strands of DNA
  • To damage the DNA so that it cannot replicate as it would do in the cell
  • To heat the DNA until it is no longer able to code for specific proteins

Frage 30

Frage
What enzyme extends the DNA strand during the extension phase of PCR?
Antworten
  • DNA polymerase
  • RNA polymerase
  • DNA ligase

Frage 31

Frage
When would you use cloning instead of PCR to replicate DNA?
Antworten
  • When there are more than 1000 base pairs in the sequence
  • When the base sequence is unknown
  • When the base sequence in known
  • When the base sequence contains too many repetitions

Frage 32

Frage
Why is E. coli often used in the cloning process?
Antworten
  • Because it grows rapidly in cheap material
  • Because it is the easiest bacteria to make safe for human use
  • Because it is easy to extract the DNA from
  • Because it is easy to re-insert the plasmid into
  • Because it is a very common bacteria
  • Because it has no cell membranes
