We will finish off talking about PCR‚ and then we will discuss how it can be used. If we go back to the slide of the double stranded DNA‚ and if we take that to a high temperature‚ the two strands separate‚ you then add the primers‚ which interact with ? On the strand‚ synthesis takes place in the 5-3 direction‚ then you end up with 2 molecules identical to
