To amplify this DNA using PCR, you use two primers that are each 10 nucleotides long: on eat the beginning of this sequence, and one at the end. What are the sequences of the two primers? Note: the sequence of only one strand of the DNA is shown above, but PCR amplifies a double-stranded DNA. Think about which strand each primer would have to pair with, and in which orientation in order to amplify the DNA. Sequence of Primer 1: 5'--- 3' Sequence of Primer 2: 5'--- 3'
