Note: these are in 5’ to 3’ orientation
Question- Locate where the primers will adhere to the sequence and amplify this portion of the gene for identification in gel electrophoresis. Highlight the matching 5’ to 3’ sequencing by changing it to boldface.

The given sequence has 5' to 3' polarity. The primers are synthesized to amplify the template DNA. Therefore, if template DNA is 5' to 3' direction the polarity of primers will be 3' to 5' and vice versa.
For amplification of a gene, a primer pair is synthesized to amplify both strands of DNA hence only one primer sequence can be found in the given template strand. the other sequence will be found on the complementary DNA sequence.
In the given sequence, only one primer can be located as such (in 3' to 5' direction which is complementary to the template DNA). However in order to know the gene sequence which will be amplified using the given primer set, We can predict the complementary sequence of second primer and can locate on the same template strand as shown below.
