How did they get answer. Why did they do 2n?
2) A scientist wants to increase the amount of sample of a DNA sequence of
100 bps. Calculate the number cycles of PCR required to generate 1 ng of
DNA, when starting from a single copy.
Note that the molar mass of an average DNA bp is 600 g/mol.

or copies in "n" PCR cycles
2n = DNA molecules
We need to solve the equation for n.
Mol=mass/mr=1*10-⁹g / 100*600g/mol = 1.6*10-14 moles, which is 1010 molecules
(Avogadro number: 6*10²³)
2n= 1010
log2n=log1010, n*log2=10*log10 ➜ n=10*log10/log2 = 33.2 → 34 cycles
