8 0

Answer: After 3 rounds, 8 segments having 2 original strands on different segments will be present.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction selectively and repeatedly copy the double stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the PCR machine.

1st round:

Single piece of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) unwinds in two seperate strands, before complementary nucleotides are synthesized to establish double helix.

2nd round:

The two dsDNA yields 4 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized

3rd round:

The four dsDNA yields 8 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized.

Therefore, at the end of 3 rounds, the two original strands will be present on the 8 different segments of copied DNA.

klasskru [66]
The geosphere supplies all the raw materials that all living things use to build their bodies. The sun supplies the energy directly or indirectly.. (There are some exceptions, some life forms have been found in deep sea vents and produce their energy chemically. And microorganism have been found at great depths in drill holes recently, little is known about them.)
