Understanding Primate EvolutionUsing Genetic Methods
• Template melted into two strands by high heat– > 90 degrees C
• Primers anneal to both strands
• Polymerase makes a copy of both strands
PCR
• Temperature raised to melt newly made DNA
• Primers allowed to anneal as temperature drops
• Polymerase elongates new second strand of DNA
• Process repeated• Exponential increase in DNA

Old World Monkeys are from Africa and Asia. Researchers are trying to place these genera properly onto the primate family tree.
