PCR consists of three steps: denaturation, primer attachment and extension of the bound primer using Taq DNA polymerase. In a cycle the DNA is heated op to 94°C which causes DNA strings will denature or separated. (1) Cool down the DNA quickly to 60°C, whereby the primer binds to each template DNA strands. The two original DNA strings might regroup or compete with primer complementary binding sites. (2) Finally heat up to 72°C, which Taq DNA polymerase extends the complementary DNA strands starting from the primer and the final finished copy of DNA. (3) NOTE: Taq polymerase works most efficiently at 72°C, why it's important to hit exactly this temperature
