ssDNA will renature requiring ____ of the DNA strands into a dsDNA and this is called ____ which occurs best if the temperature is ____ T_m but warm enough to promote diffusion of the DNA molecules. A) hydrolysis; reannealing; below B) reassociation; reannealing; below C) reassociation; melting; above D) complementing; solidifying; below E) none are true

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reassociation is the correct term for the process of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) coming back together to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and this process is also known as reannealing. It occurs best at temperatures below the melting point but warm enough to allow the DNA molecules to move and find their complementary strands.
