Answer:

the answer is 3.2 x 10⁴

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology to exponentially amplify a specific DNA sample from a small amount of DNA. For this purpose, the PCR technique uses: 1- a DNA polymerase enzyme in order to synthesize new DNA copies and 2- one pair of DNA oligonucleotides (primers) which are complementary to the ends of the target DNA sequence. During each round of PCR, the double-stranded DNA template is unwound and each strand is used to synthesize a new DNA strand, thereby forming two new double-stranded DNA molecules. In consequence, each round of PCR doubles the amount of DNA.

Answer:

DNA is tightly packed up to fit in the nucleus of every cell. As shown in the animation, a DNA molecule wraps around histone proteins to form tight loops called nucleosomes. These nucleosomes coil and stack together to form fibers called chromatin. Chromatin, in turn, loops and folds with the help of additional proteins to form chromosomes. Condensing DNA into chromosomes prevents DNA tangling and damage during cell division.
