Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the significance of the 'denaturation' step in PCR?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Start with a mixture that contains double-stranded DNA.
Step 2: Heat the mixture to a high temperature (usually around 94-98 degrees Celsius).
Step 3: The heat causes the two strands of the DNA to separate, turning them into single strands.
Step 4: This separation is crucial because it allows the next steps of PCR to occur, where new DNA strands can be made.
