Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primers are short nucleotide sequences that are designed to anneal to a specific location on the DNA template strand during PCR. They provide a starting point for the DNA polymerase to extend and amplify the target sequence. Primers are typically 18-25 nucleotides in length and are specific to the target DNA sequence of interest.
