You could do an Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. Run your PCR to a DNA ladder and confirm that the size of your amplified gene corresponds to the appropriate size on your DNA ladder (for example, if your gene is approximately 3000 base pairs in length, it should correspond to the 3000 bp band of the DNA ladder).

PCR stands for?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Which is used to copy DNA for DNA fingerprinting?
PCR
Why is PCR called a chain reaction?
PCR can repeatedly duplicate a DNA (or RNA) fragment, so it's a chain reaction. After each cycle, PCR can repeat and repeat again to produce many copies of the same DNA segment.
Why do two possible PCR products differ by 300 base pairs?
If the PCR that was run was an RT-PCR then the band with 300 extra bp could be caused by the presence of contaminating gDNA in the reaction. Many primers for RT-PCR are designed to sit in different exons. If the intron in between was about 300bp in length and gDNA was added to the reaction as well as cDNA then two bands would result, the shorter/lighter one from the cDNA and the longer/heavier band from the gDNA.
What is the method that creates a large sample of DNA for testing from a small sample of DNA?
That would probably be polymerase chain reaction or PCR for short.
PCR stands for?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
What is the function of EDTA in PCR?
It Inhibits the PCR reaction by chelating the magnesium ions.
Which is used to copy DNA for DNA fingerprinting?
PCR
What are the different types of polymerase chain reaction techniques?
types of pcr: AFLP -PCR. Allele-specific PCR. Alu-PCR. Assembly -PCR. Assemetric -PCR. Colony -PCR. Helicase dependent amplification. Hot start pCR. Inverse -PCR. Insitu -pCR. ISSR-PCR. RT-PCR(REVERSE TARNSCRIPTASE). REAL TIME -PCR
What does PCR stand for?

What is the function of mgcl2 in pcr?
it enhance the reaction

In a pcr reaction of DNA are first separated by?
Heating
What is difference between Qualitative PCR and Quatitative PCR?
In qualitative PCR specific DNA fragment is detected while in quantitative PCR our target DNA sequence not only is detected but its amount is determined (after reaction we can calculate the amount of DNA we had in our sample)
What are primer dimers in pcr?
Primerdimer occur, when the Primer are -or parts- are complementary (3' of the FOR- and 3' of the REV-Primer). While PCR both oligos hybridizate and are elongated. The Product contains both primer sequences. Primerdimers reduce the avaiable ammount of primers for the pcr-reaction. Therefore the pcr effectivity is reduced because of this non-specific reaction.
