Which of the following places the steps in the PCR procedure in the correct order?
1) Incubate at 94°C to denature DNA strands;
2) Incubate at 72°C for DNA synthesis;
3) Incubate at 60°C for primer hybridization.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is used to duplicate traces of DNA from any living form, for identification purposes. The correct sequence is 1, 3, 2; based on the options given.

Explanation:

The steps to be followed for the PCR procedure are:

Denaturation

Option 1. Involves incubation at 94°C to denature DNA strands into single strands by breaking of weak hydrogen links

Annealing

Option 3. Temperature is lowered to 60°C to allow primers joining their similar DNA sequences.

Elongation

Option 2. Incubate at 72°C to promote the extension of the DNA strands, actually extending them.

Which of the following places the steps in the PCR procedure in the correct order? 1) Incubate at 94°C to denature DNA strands; 2) Incubate at 72°C for DNA synthesis; 3) Incubate at 60°C for primer hybridization.
