Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strand length of the amplicons is determined by the primer sequences. The specificity of the primers and their annealing temperature determine the length of the amplified product. The number of cycles and cycle time may affect the quantity of the product, but not the length. The percentage of cycle time spent in the extension step also affects the quantity, but not the length.
