Most newly emerging diseases, no matter how severe their effects on a population, human or otherwise, have which of the following in common?

#Section 2: General Biology
  1. greater severity as there are more and more occurrences of the infection

  2. major pandemics, spreading the infection far and wide in the population

  3. a tendency to die out rather quickly, cease to reproduce, or cause a less severe effect on the host

  4. a destruction of the host immune system and eventual cancer

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.
