Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased

Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.

Agglutination of antigens by utilising specific antibodies can only occur, if

Ten people are sitting in a row. Their objective is to whisper a secret from one person to the next all the way down the row. The first person whispers the secret to the second person who passes the secret to the third person and so on. After whispering to the third person, the second person in the row notices the ninth person has fallen asleep in their chair, so she gets up, goes down the row and shakes person nine awake. This example is similar to ________.
