The number of molecules of an individual plasmid that are normally found in a single bacterial cell is known as? Correct Answer Copy number

Copy number of a plasmid is particularly important as far as cloning is concerned, it gives an estimate of the yield of the desired DNA or protein product that can be anticipated.

There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question. Rule: 1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second. 2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added. 3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number. 4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number.
