  • What is the function of PCR buffer in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Maintains correct pH during the reaction
  • What is the function of MgCl2 in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Provides Mg2+ ions, essential co-factor for the Taq polymerase
  • What is the function of dNTPs in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Substrate for newly synthesised DNA
  • What is the function of forward/reverse primer in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Allows initiation of forward/reverse strand DNA synthesis at a specific site
  • What is the function of Taq DNA polymerase in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Catalyses DNA synthesis; Taq polymerase is functional at the high temperatures required to denature dsDNA
  • What is the function of DNA in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Contains target template sequence for initial rounds of amplification
  • What is the function of water in the PCR reaction mixture?

    Used to adjust all components to correct final concentrations
  • What happens at 94 degrees in the PCR reaction?

    Denaturation, the two strands of DNA become separated
