Answer

By assessing the number of primers used in the qPCR reaction

Answer

By counting the total number of thermal cycles completed during the reaction

Answer

By assessing the cycle threshold (Ct) value

Answer

By interpreting the shape of the amplification curve to estimate the starting DNA concentration
