Assuming the students designed the correct primers, their PCR
product would be 162 basepairs in length. If they started with
exactly one double stranded DNA molecule and amplified the 162
basepair sequence, approximately how many cycles of PCR
amplification will they need to produce 100. nanograms of this DNA
assuming the average molar mass of a basepair is 654 Da (1 MOLE of
basepairs has a mass of 654 grams). Assume that all amplified DNA
is actually 162 basepairs in length.
