Amplification is the production of many copies of a particular DNA segment. The copying repeats - so that copies of the copies are made. This results in many, many copies in only a few cycles.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is the most common method of amplifying DNA.

How can you increase amplification?
are you referring to DNA amplification using PCR
Another term for DNA synthesis?
DNA synthesis is also known as DNA replication.
What is a following reactions that is used to radioactively label DNA?
Synthesis of new DNA.
What is the difference between replication of DNA and amplifcation of DNA in PCR?
DNA cloning is where you take a piece of DNA and put it in a host cell so that every time the host cell replicates, its daughter cells will have that exact copy of DNA. DNA amplification is just taking a piece of DNA and making copies of it, like in the process of PCR. it is not inside a host cell. another way to think of it: you can amplify a gene--make a bunch of copies of it, and then clone it (by putting it in a cell and once that cell replicates each daughter cell has a copy of that DNA). you don't need to amplify anymore in cloning, you already did that before.
What is the DNA process?
DNA synthesis or DNA replication
When DNA cynthesis occures?
Within the Cell cycle, Dna synthesis occurs during the S [synthesis] phase.
What catalyzes DNA synthesis?
DNA Polymerase
How would prevention of DNA synthesis affect mitosis?
There would not be enough DNA to put in daughter cells, since DNA synthesis is the replication of DNA.
What would be the consequence for DNA synthesis if DNA ligase were defective?
Lagging strand synthesis would be incomplete; leading strand synthesis would be unaffected.
The code for the synthesis of proteins is contained in?
The DNA of the cell.
What is difference between DNA probe and primer?

Can plasmid DNA be used for 16srRNA amplification?
The 16s rRNA genes (rDNA) exist on genomic DNA. Therefore, plasmid has nothing to do with its amplification. However, if the 16s rRNA gene is cloned into the plasmid, it can be amplified.
