Describe three steps involved in mechanism of PCR.

उत्तर
At the start of PCR, all the requirements are mixed together in 'eppendorf tube' and the following operations are performed sequentially:
- Denaturation: The reaction mixture is heated to a temperature (90–98° C) to separate two strands of desired DNA. This is called denaturation.
- Annealing: The mixture is allowed to cool (40–60° C) that permits pairing of the primer to the complementary sequences in DNA. This step is called annealing.
- Primer extension/Polymerization: The temperature (70–75° C) allows thermostable Taq DNA polymerase to use single-stranded DNA as template and adds nucleotides. This is called primer extension. It takes around two minutes duration.

Cloning of genes, play a very significant role in genetic engineering, helping the transfer of desirable foreign genes into different hosts. The scientists, to make this process easier and effective are creating engineered vectors in such a way that they help easy linking of foreign DNA and selection of recombinants from non-recombinants. 'pBR322' is one such engineered vectors developed by scientists. A diagram of an engineered vector pBR322 is given below:
- Name the host for this cloning vector.
- Identify 'Rop' and 'Ori' in the diagram from 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'. Write their functions.
- Draw the fragments that will be formed by the action of 'Z' (marked in the diagram) on the specific site of the DNA segment given below:
5' --- GTACGAATCCTGA --- 3'
