1.

Emulsion or droplet PCR is another modification of PCR. Which of the statement holds true?

A. It is possible to incorporate the reagents in a lipid drop
B. It refers to the PCR carried out at large scale
C. The temperature variation is not possible easily
D. If there is a single template molecule at the start then amplification results in the mixture and it because of the extent of extension carried out

D. Tails are added enzymatically to the region of known sequence
Answer» E.

By using two oligonucleotides, we can measure the amount of quantity of DNA by measuring the amount of fluorescence. The first probe absorbs light and the second emits it at a particular wavelength.

A. True
B. False
Answer» B. False
6.

Which one of the following is not done if amplification of the non flanking region is carried out?

A. Firstly, restriction enzyme digestion is done of those sites whose sequence is not known
B. Then the self-ligation of molecules is allowed
C. Now the molecules are cleaved where the known sequence is
D. Again, the molecules are linearized and the known sequence is in the middle
