PCR Fundamentals and Primer Orientation

It enables exponential growth of DNA copies. (correct)

It causes the reaction to slow down.

It allows for more specific binding to the target DNA.

It facilitates the copying of longer DNA sequences.

They must be complementary to the DNA polymerase.

They must bind to the same strand of DNA.

They allow DNA polymerase to extend them in the correct direction. (correct)

They should align with the length of the DNA target.

Targets must be shorter than 50 nucleotides.

Target length does not affect the PCR process.

Targets should ideally be between 100 and a few thousand nucleotides long. (correct)

Targets longer than 1000 nucleotides are always preferred.
