प्रश्न
While doing a PCR, ‘denaturation’ step is missed. What will be its effect on the process?
Advertisements
उत्तर
If denaturation of double-stranded DNA does not take place, then primers will not be able to anneal to the template, no extension will take place, hence no amplification will occur.
