Answer:

At least 17 PCR cycles or 16 PCR cycles

Explanation:

As we know -

In one chain of  heating and cooling  of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the strands of DNA gets doubled.

The general mathematical representation of this is

{2^n - (2 *  n)}

where "n" is the number of PCR cycles.

It is given that DNA strands  to be produced is 16 times the original quantity of DNA.

So the PCR cycle must be carried out at least 17 times in order to have DNA strand not less  than 16 times the original quantity of DNA

The hormone _______________ is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range.
Viktor [21]
<span>The hormone INSULIN is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range.

This hormone regulates your blood sugar level. When your blood glucose is elevated above a normal range, the insulin is released from the pancreas. It then attaches itself to the cells and signals them to absorb the excess sugar from the blood stream. 

If your blood sugar level is low, insulin signals the release of stored sugar to the blood stream to maintain the normal level of your blood glucose.</span>
