After watching the 5 minute video above, study an animation of PCR and consider the activities completed during class prior to answering the following questions:
- What does “PCR” stand for? What is the meaning of the name?
- What components are required for PCR? What is the purpose of each component?
- How many different temperatures are needed during a cycle of PCR? What is accomplished at each temperature?
- What is the end result of PCR?
**Make sure you have completed the PCR (Molo) activity conducted in class.
when I try to watch the video it says this:
“We’ve come up empty on that one.The requested page could not be found. If you entered a page address, please check the spelling and try again or use the search bar to find the product or information you are looking for.”
I tried to find the video on the website but don’t think I found the right one; however, I watched a video about the T100 PCR. I could not tell what the meaning of PCR is but I know it is some kind of DNA processor. I saw people using micropipettes and microtubes, just like we do in class. They gathered the DNA with these and the PCR was able to give them results very quickly. It is easy to use and works efficiently and effectively every time.
