By mistake, you add two primers to your DNA sequencing reaction. The primers anneal on the same strand but 20 bases apart. Which of the following best describes how your sequence will look? A. The sequence will be readable for the first 20 bases only. B. The detector will detect two nucleotides at about 75% of the positions. C. The sequence will be readable for the last 20 bases only. D. The detector will detect one nucleotide at about 75% of the positions. E. The detector will detect no nucleotides at any of the positions.
