Solution

The answer is D. 25 µl DNA + 75 µl water.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. First, determine the total amount of DNA you need. This is the final volume times the final concentration: 100 µl * 25 ng/µl = 2500 ng.

  2. Then, determine how much of your stock solution you need to get that amount of DNA. This is the total
