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.

Which step is first in translation
Natalija [7]

The steps in translation are: The ribosome binds to mRNA at a specific area. The ribosome starts matching tRNA anticodon sequences to the mRNA codon sequence. Each time a new tRNA comes into the ribosome, the amino acid that it was carrying gets added to the elongating polypeptide chain.

The rapid decomposition of organic matter produces evidence which supports: the slow accumulation of coal deposits long ages of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

rapid burial of vast amounts of vegetation

Explanation:

The organic matter is always decomposing, just that it depends on the conditions at what kind of a rate the decomposition will happen. If the climate is warmer and humid, then the decomposition is very quick. This results in a rapid burial of enormous amounts of vegetation. As the vegetation dies out, it piles up constantly, decomposes very quickly, and if there is something that can cover it, like mud for example, it will be buried in the ground. This is actually how the big deposits of coal have got the basis to form in the Carboniferous period.
