<!-- Add a write-up, essay-style, organized into paragraphs with descriptive headers, based on the questions and answers from the Research and Development exercise. BONUS points: Use a program like Powerpoint, Word, Illustrator, Microsoft Paint, etc. to illustrate how primers bind to the cancer DNA template, and how Taq polymerases amplify the DNA. Screen-captures from the PCR video/ tutorial might be useful. Be sure to '''credit the sources''' if you borrow images.

Initial Step: <br> | |||
The current research of the PCR where they are are using a template DNA sample where there is one original sample of DNA from a hair follicle, blood, skin and etc to be the start of the process. <br> | |||
Denature: <br> | |||
After setting it up in a deoxyribose nucleoside triphosphate solution mix (dNTP) in which serve as nucleotide building blocks and are essential to maintaining life, the next step is heating it up the solution to 95°C in time for denaturing the double helix into two individual strands. <br> | |||
Anneal: <br> | |||
Right after stability is achieved, the temperature is then switched to 57°C to add strands of nucleic acid or primers where they anneal to complementary matches on the two DNA strands where they bracket themselves into prepared sequences of the template DNA. | |||
Extension: <br> | |||
Next comes the step of raising the temperature to 72°C and then adding the enzyme Taq Polymerase to the primed sequences and they add the remaining nucleotides to make a complete second copy. <br> | |||
Final Hold(Repetition if necessary): <br> | |||
Then this first cycle can be repeated over and over again until the required amount of copied DNA is reached. | |||
