PPT-How fast do you think DNA Polymerase can add nitrogen bases

DNA Polymerase can replicate DNA at a rate of 50000 base pairs per minute Thats pretty fast do you think it ever makes mistakes Mutations Mutations Changes in the genetic code They come from mistakes that cells have made in copying their own DNA . (PCR). PCR. PCR produces billions of copies of a specific piece of DNA from trace amounts of starting material. (i.e. blood, skin cells, bone). Allows scientists to isolate pure quantities of specific DNA sequences. Section 8.2: The Structure of DNA. 1. Objectives. SWBAT describe the interaction o the four nucleotides that make up DNA..
