Biology
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

to add nucleotides to a DNA primer

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology in order to amplify small segments of DNA (100 to 1000 bases). PCR uses a thermostable DNA Taq polymerase that adds nucleotides to the DNA template at the position specified by short single-stranded DNA primers that bind to this template by complementary base pairing during the annealing phase of the PCR cycle. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase adds deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) to the opposite DNA strand, this phase of the PCR cycle is known as the elongation phase. Finally, the resulting double-stranded DNA fragment is separated by heat during the denaturation step and this 3-step PCR cycle is repeated many times to amplify the target DNA region.

What do high and low air pressure systems mean in terms of density?
Arada [10]

<span>There are two physical differences between Low pressure systems and </span>High pressure systems.

First, is the circulation surrounding them.

Secondly, is the atmospheric motion that they cause.

Low pressure systems circulate counter-clockwise. High pressure systems circulate clockwise. These "motions" are the building blocks in our atmosphere. They give us our weather.

A Low’s counter-clockwise circulation forces air upward (ultimately resulting in condensation, cloud formation and ultimately precipitation). A High’s clockwise circulation causes a sinking motion in the atmosphere, resulting in fair/clearer and often sunnier skies.
