Questions and Answers

Which technique is used to detect genetic mutations associated with disease?

  • Methylation-specific PCR
  • Allele-specific PCR (correct)
  • Traditional PCR
  • Assembly PCR

What is a specific application of Assembly PCR?

  • Cancer diagnosis and prognosis
  • Diagnosis of infectious diseases
  • Genetic testing for disease susceptibility
  • Creation of synthetic genes (correct)

What is a limitation of Allele-specific PCR?

  • Not as sensitive as traditional PCR for detecting very low-abundance DNA targets
  • Complex to design and optimize
  • Difficult to use with long DNA fragments
  • Affected by polymorphisms in the primer binding sites (correct)
