For these kinds of experiments, the DNA is first sheared into fragments with an average size of several hundred base pairs. The fragments are dissociated (denatured) via heating, and then the sample temperature is lowered slowly while the reassociation is monitored. During reassociation, pieces of single-stranded molecules collide at random. If the pieces are complementary, a stable double-stranded molecule is formed. If no match is made, the pieces separate and continue encountering other single-stranded pieces. This process continues until all matches are made. a. The figure below shows an ideal time course for reassociation of DNA. Co is the initial concentration of DNA single strands in moles per liter. Time (t) of the reassociation is measured in…
