If a researcher has a DNA sample with a concentration of 0.6 micrograms per microliter, how many microliters of DNA must be transfered to conduct a 50 microliter reaction if the final concentration should be 3.9 nanograms per microliter

0.325 microliters

Explanation:

1 microgram = 1000 nanograms

DNA sample concentration= 1000 X 0.6 = 600 nanograms / microliters

We need a total of 50 microliter reactions, and the concentration should be 3.9 nanograms per microliter.

So, we need total 50 X 3.9 = 195 nanograms in 50 microliters.

Therefore, it required 195 / 600 = 0.325 microliters of DNA sample to be transferred.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
