The amount, in microliters, of the DNA that must be transferred to conduct the reaction will be 0.575 microliters
The problem can be solved by using the dilution equation.
Mathematically, the equation is given as:
m1v1 = m2v2
Where m1 = imitial concentration, m2 = final concentration, v1 = initial volume, and v2 = final volume.
However, the initial and final concentrations, in this case, should first be converted to the same units.
0.2 microgram = 0.2 x [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] grams
2.3 nanograms = 2.3 x [tex]10^{-9}[/tex] grams
Thus, 2.3 nanograms = 2.3 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] microgram = 0.0023 microgram
What we are looking for is the initial volume.
v1 = m2v2/m1 = 0.0023 x 50/0.2 = 0.575 microliters
