Approximately how many copies of your pMCT alleles will be created per DNA molecule after 30 cycles?

Question

a. 30 x 30 = 900
b. 30 + 30 = 900
c. 2 to the 30th power = 1,073,741,824
d. 2 to the 2nd power = 4

Answer 1

you must be talking about 30 cycles of PCR ... every cycle doubles the number of copies, so the answer is "c", 2 to the 30th power (assuming some necessary component isn't limiting).
