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

Suppose you conduct an investigation to find out the types of soil in your neighborhood why would it be helpful to test soil at
topjm [15]

This is because a sample is supposed to ideally represent the whole population from which it was taken. Taking samples from different location within the population ensures that they are no bias in the sample. Each part of the population should be well represented in the sample so that the conclusions drawn from the sample represent the properties of the whole population.

What is present in the soil that makes nitrogen<br> directly available to plants?
lubasha [3.4K]
In order for plants to assimilate nitrogen directly into their system, the nitrogen must be in the form of nitrates. Nitrogen in the air and ammonia from decayed matter in the soil is converted to ammonium by decomposers and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The ammonium is further nitrified to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. Finally, the nitrates can then absorbed by the plants.
