the Machine heats up the the test tubes with this with your samples in and a few other things controls and what have you and the as it as it heats up with these these things the the ladders split apart so that instead of having something joined together you've got them separate and it and and in in the case of measles virus you have a you have something a preliminary step they're called reverse transcription where where because the virus is a RNA is a single strand rather than DNA which is a double strand RNA ribonucleic acid is a single strand so for this this technology to work you need two strands for reasons which I'm sure you'll probably get to so you then so what happens initially is a a second strand is created synthetically so that you then have what is called C DNA which is a which is is a kind of an artificial construct of DNA and then once that's done won't go into how it's done but once that's done and you've then got this piece of DNA the machine heats up the material the test tubes in it and these two ladders split apart and at that point this polymerase this enzyme that amazingly was discovered in the Yellowstone National Park goes along the broken rungs of this ladder and creates a complementary second ladder so for each of the points rungs on the ladder it creates another one which joins to it and these are the nucleotides that you know the the base nucleotides the fundamental building blocks of life and so so when you start off with these these two these split apart the polymerase runs along from one end of the of the unbelievable really runs along from one end of the ladder to the other and then you've got two DNA two double-stranded samples so then you cool it the cooling brings these two together and they solidify and
