The process creates dense clusters of identical DNA molecules necessary for high signal intensity during sequencing.

During bridge amplification, DNA bends to hybridize with nearby primers, forming a "bridge" structure

Bridge amplification occurs after DNA fragments are attached to the flow cell via complementary adapter sequences.

All of the above/below

None of the above/below

DNA fragments are amplified in solution before being deposited onto the flow cell

Each cluster on the flow cell originates from multiple DNA fragments to improve accuracy
