The sequences of the primers used to amplify part of the CYP1A2 gene are as follows:
Forward primer: 5’ GAGAGCGATGGGGAGGGC 3’
Reverse primer: 5’ CCCTTGAGCACCCAGAATACC 3’
Find the binding sites for each of these primers in the above sequence. Calculate the expected size of the product (in base pairs) that will be amplified using this primer set and enter your answer below.
