Expand PCR? Describe the different Steps involved in this technique?
Recall the semi discontinuity in DNA replication. Is it biologically possible for DNA to undergo replication in vivo, without the lagging and the leading strands? In PCR, we also start with an antiparallel strand of DNA. Does this also mean that replication is semidiscontinuous in in vitro replication? PLEASE EXPLAIN COMPLETELY AND NOT JUST COPY PASTE ANSWERS FROM GOOGLE.
Application/ Analysis
Explain how the anti-parallel structure of DNA predicts its replication mechanism.
Identify the major and minor groove of DNA and explain why they are there.
Differentiate between semiconservative, conservative, and dispersive replication.
Interpret a diagram of a bi-directional replication fork and correctly determine strand polarity and fork direction.
