When the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify segments of DNA, the sample is first heated, and then cooled, in cyc

les. How many cycles of heating and cooling would be necessary to produce 16 times the original quantity of DNA?

baherus [9]3 years ago
8 0

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

What is one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium? A. There is nonrandom mating. B. There is
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

C. There is no genetic drift

Explanation:

A population is said to be in genetic equilibrium when the genetic variation of a population remains constant over many generations.

For a population to remain in genetic equilibrium it is necessary that external factors that disturb the equilibrium should not be present.

The external factors that are responsible for disturbing the genetic equilibrium are mutations, non-random mating, genetic drift and gene flow.

Genetic drift occurs when due to a chance event the allele frequency of a population either increases or decreases and this is usually common in small populations.

Thus, genetic drift should not occur so that the population can be in genetic equilibrium.
