PCR is an exponential copying of the template strands and can be represented by the function: y = a * 2n, where a is the initial number of template copies and n is equal to the number of cycles PCR has gone through. How many DNA fragments would be produced after:
15 cycles?
13 cycles with 13 starting template strands?
29 cycles with 32 starting template strands?
After four cycles of PCR, which products predominate? Explain why.
Assuming you started with only one copy of a DNA sequence, how many copies should be present after 15 cycles of PCR?
