azamat

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.

How does the appearance of photosynthetic plants relate to the increase in atmospheric oxygen and the decrease in carbon dioxide
cestrela7 [59]
Photosynthetic plants use carbon dioxide to generate and function. Plants need energy (glucose) to survive. They exist to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of their end products is oxygen. Animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide while the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This is balance.
