1
Q
what is PCR
A
Polymerase Chain REaction
2
Q
what does it do
A
copies DNA rapidly to ampify amount
3
Q
what is needed
A
2 RNA primers, DNA, polymerase, RNA nucleotides, heat
4
Q
how it works
A
1- heat seperates DNA strands
2- RNa primers attached
3- Polymerase adds RNA nucleotides until 1 segment has been copied
4- repeat
