All ingredients required for the synthesis of DNA were placed in a test tube.  The primer has the sequence 5’-TCGATCA-3’. First determine where the primer will bind to the DNA template given below (Do this by writing the sequence of the primer on top of the template – make sure you find a location that is complementary in sequence and that the primer is antiparallel with respect to the template) and then indicate the nucleotides that DNA polymerase would attach onto the primer as it synthesizes DNA (hint: in which direction does DNA polymerase attach nucleotides onto a primer?)  See figure 13.16 in book.   5’-GACGTAGTCTGATGCTAGCATGCTGATCGAAAGAG-3’
