Answer:

1073741824 copies of original DNA molecules will be made.

Explanation:

PCR represents the polymerase chain reaction which is used to amplify or produce copies of DNA molecules. It constitute of three main phases which are denaturation of sample DNA molecule, annealing of primer and extension of primer.

To calculate the number of copies produced in each cycle we use the formula 2ⁿ where n represents the number of cycles. So if three main stages of the PCR process are usually repeated around 30 times over several hours 2ⁿ becomes  2³⁰ which is equal to 1073741824. That Why if  pcr cycle is repeated 30 times it will produce almost 1 billion copies of original DNA molecule.

The number of cycles of PCR are dependent on number of DNA molecules present at starting and efficiency of primer extension and amplification. The reaction will continue after starting until one of the components of PCR become deficient.

The statement that suggests that the shape of an enzyme determines its function, would be the fact that enzymes are specific to certain substrates, depending on the particular shape of an enzyme it can allow binding to specific substrates and allow for catalyzing that corresponding reaction.

Contact [7]
<span>The correct answer is that he has injured one of the tendons or ligaments that help keep his knee in place, connecting it to the surrounding muscle and bone. As a result of this injury, his knee is no longer connected to the muscle and bone, thus it wobbled sideways when he started walking. He needs to go to a doctor immediately who can fix his knee so as to prevent further complications - he just needs his knee to be set in place again.</span>
