Question

PCR is a cyclic process that is used to amplify the DNA fragments. During the amplification, number of cycles is generally kept between 30–40 cycles. How many number of DNA strands will be produced if the number of cycles were kept 10?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The number of DNA strands produced in each cycle of PCR is given by formula (2)ⁿ, where n is number of cycles.

Since the number of cycles given in question is 10, the number of DNA strands produced will be (2)¹⁰= 1024.
