Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The PCR cycle is called polymerase chain reaction is a method used for the formation of many copies of the DNA. The cycle involves three steps to form new DNA molecules. The procedure of PCR is used in cloning, sequencing, genotyping,

In a typical PCR reaction what is happening in stages occurring at temperature ranges (a) 92–95°C, (b) 45–65°C, and (c) 65–75°C.
The final amount of each primer required in a PCR reaction is 25 picomol. If the total volume of the PCR reaction is equal to 100 µl and the stock concentration of each primer is equal to 0.0025 mM. Calculate the volume of stock primer that needs to be added in order to ensure a primer amount of 25 picomol.
If you design a set of primers for a PCR reaction, please describe the temperature that you will set up on the cycler for the complete PCR reaction.
