A newly developed qPCR has an efficiency of 75%, and each cycle is pretty consistent. In this qPCR, if a reporter and quencher located at the ends of a probe, respectively, are separated far enough from each other, one (1) probe produces a signal of S. Let's assume that we start with only one (1) copy of target dsDNA. How much signals can we obtain after 15 cycles in terms of S if we use the following probes?

(a) Molecular beacon probe

(b) TaqMan probe
