If the reaction starts with one molecule of DNA, the number of cycles required to produce one billion amplified products is:

  1. A 8 cycles
  2. B 16 cycles
  3. C 30 cycles
  4. D 25 cycles
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 30 cycles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( 2^n = \text{Target products} \) \( 2^n = 10^9 \) \( n \log_{10}(2) = \log_{10}(10^9) \) \( n \times 0.301 = 9 \) \( n = \frac{9}{0.301} \) \( n \approx 29.89 \) \( n = 30 \) cycles
