Q

T/F: a rxn’s Ct is directly linked to the starting concentration of target sequence

A

T

23
Q

T/F: in a PCR, the amount of target sequence doubles every cycle

A

T

24
Q

T/F: If there is a two-cycle difference, you expect a four-fold difference in starting DNA concentration. A three-cycle difference, eight-fold and so on.

A

T

25
Q

refers to an advanced stage of development of the egg and not merely after fertilization
