Question
Organize the following steps of a PCR cycle in the correct sequence.The mixture is cooled to allow the binding of primers to the end of target DNA sequences.Free nucleotides are added in the 5’ to 3’ direction by the Taq DNA polymerase.The reaction mixture is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA.Group of answer choices1, 2, 31, 3, 22, 1, 32, 3, 13, 1, 23, 2, 1
Solution
The correct sequence for the steps of a PCR cycle is:
- The reaction mixture is heated to separate the double-stranded DNA.
- The mixture is cooled to allow the binding of primers to the end of target DNA sequences.
- Free nucleotides are added in the 5’ to 3’ direction by the Taq DNA polymerase.
So, the correct answer is 3, 1, 2.
