Be sure to label the 5' and 3' ends. (4 points) b) What is the length (in bp) of the entire region amplified by their primers (i.e. the amplicon length)? (Note: the spacing in the above sequence is intentionally uniform) (2 points) c) If you start with 300 copies template DNA how many copies would you expect to produce if you ran the PCR for 22 cycles? Show your work. (4 points)
