The enzyme polymerase is functional in water medium, that's why water is needed. Do understand that biological polymerization reactions as in nucleic acids and other molecules, are condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) where water is liberated.

Why can't ordinary uranium be used in reactors coooled by ordinary water?
Because the neutron economics are against it, a critical reactor and a chain reaction would not be possible. Ordinary water absorbs too many neutrons. For natural uranium you must use graphite or heavy water for the moderator.
Differentiate between the reactants and the products in the reaction?
A reactant is an "ingredient" in a chemical reaction; it is a substance you have at the beginning of a reaction. A product is what gets produced in a chemical reaction; it is a new substance you did not have before. Reactants yield products.
Can you use vinegar and alum and water together?
yes you can. Most acetates are water soluble so no reaction is likely to happen, except of course dissolution of alum.
What is the best way to clean a stainless steel chain?
There are many ways to clean a stainless steel chain. But in order to correctly clean it, the best way is to use bleach and add water to the bleach to clean it.
What term do you use to indicate salt solution in water in a chemical reaction?
(aq) It means aqueous. Example: NaCl(aq)
In order to replicate DNA outside living organisms scientists use?
Polymerase chain reaction
What is a method of making many copies of DNA?
Polymerase chain reaction
Multiple copies of DNA can be produced by?
cloning a DNA library. genetic amplification. the use of reverse transcriptase. the action of DNA polymerase
What is Kary Mullis famous for?
In 1984, Dr. Mullis developed the use of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique to replicate DNA. For this, he was the co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Could you use human polymerase for the extension step in the PCR reaction?
Actually the problem with the Human polymerase is the sensitivity to temperature if we talk about PCR. That is the reason why we use Taq DNA polymerase which is thermostable where as use of human polymerase may result in loss of its function due to high temperature.
What does pcr stand for in biology terms?
The term pcr in biology stands for polymerase chain reaction. It stands for a process that biologists use in DNA sequencing, allowing them to make DNA copies more efficiently.
A scientist wants to make a dna fingerprint and she used polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzymes what should her next step be?
Run gel electrophoresis :: Apex
A small amount of DNA obtained from a mummy or frozen remains of a human may be cloned in order to clone small amounts of DNA what needs to be used to generate larger qualities of DNA?
To ramp up the DNA into a large enough amount to work with you would use polymerase chain reaction technique. PCR. By using the enzymes found in certain extremeophiles one alternately heats and cools the DNA solution with this extremeophile polymerase included and it ramps up the amount of DNA so you have a useful bit of DNA for insertion into a cloning vector.
What tools of recombinant DNA technology is incorrectly paired with its use?
DNA polymerase-polymerase chain reaction to amplify sections of DNA reverse transcriptase-production of cDNA from mRNA DNA ligase-cutting DNA, creating sticky ends of restriction fragments restriction enzyme-analysis of RFLPs electrophoresis-separation of DNA fragments
Which technique can be used to make multiple copies of a gene?
Polymerase Chain Reaction, also known as PCR, can be used to rapidly make multiple copies of a gene using a primer.Another method is to use a plasmid vector to carry, store and multiply a gene in a microbial cell, such as E. coli.

Could mammal polymerase be used to do pcr reactions?
Mammalian polymerase is heat labile. Which means, it denatures (or breaks up into fragments) at higher temperatures. Since PCR is a reaction what requires a high temperature for the DNA strands to denature, it would be more efficient to use a polymerase that could function at higher temperatures.
