Question

How many molecules of DNA would result from one molecule after five cycles of PCR?

OA. 14
B. 10
C.5
D. 32​

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

PCR, assuming sufficient primers, dNTP’s, and polymerase molecules, doubles the number of target DNA molecules per cycle. 5 cycles corresponds to 5 doublings of the target DNA. 2x2x2x2x2, or 2 to the 5th power is 32.
