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.

Is used to make multiple copies of a particular gene?

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique employs a heat-stable polymerase in a chain reaction, replicating DNA exponentially.


How did scientists get a bacterium to make copies of the frog gene?

Scientists used a technique called recombinant DNA technology to insert the frog gene into the bacterium's DNA. The bacterium then replicated the gene along with its own DNA, allowing it to produce copies of the frog gene as it multiplied.


What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?

1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"


Do both alleles of a gene pair make up an organisms genotype?

If by gene pair, you mean the two copies of each gene present in a diploid cell, then yes. Both alleles make up an organisms genotype, though they might not both be expressed in the phenotype, if one is recessive for instance.


How are replication and pcr similar?

Both replication and PCR involve the amplification of DNA. Replication is the natural process by which cells make copies of their DNA, while PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a laboratory technique that can make millions of copies of a specific DNA fragment in a short amount of time. Both processes require a DNA polymerase enzyme to catalyze the synthesis of new DNA strands.

How many copies of a single page can a photocopier make?

A photocopier can make multiple copies of a single page, depending on the settings chosen. Most photocopiers can make up to hundreds of copies in one go.


How does gene therapy aim to cure muscular dystrophy?

Which process is able to make millions of copies of a single gene in a test tube?

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the process that can make millions of copies of a single gene in a test tube. PCR involves a series of temperature cycles that allow DNA polymerase to amplify the specific region of interest.
