Please help solve these. I have tried for over an hour and I am not getting anywhere on any of these 

### Making Your Master Mix and PCR Setup for TPCN2

#### Note: 
The reaction volumes will be 20 µL, and \( n = 10 \) reactions.

---

**1. DNA Dilution Instructions:**  
Assume you extract genomic DNA (gDNA) quantified by the NanoDrop with a concentration of 1065.7 ng/µL. Calculate the dilution(s) necessary to achieve a target concentration of 25 ng/µL for preparing your Master Mix. Use a two-step dilution method and clearly show the pipettable volumes alongside your calculations.

**2. dNTPs Dilution Instructions:**  
Your deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) are provided separately in 100 mM concentrations for ATP, GTP, CTP, and TTP. Indicate the mixture components and volumes. Calculate the necessary dilution(s) to prepare a dNTP mixture at 2.5 mM for the Master Mix. Ensure there is an adequate amount for all your reactions.

**3. Primer Preparation Instructions:**  
Your Forward and Reverse Primers for TPCN2 are re-suspended at 100 µM. Calculate the dilution(s) required to prepare the primers in such a way that they can be pipetted appropriately for creating your Master Mix. Use the specified concentrations from the setup sheet.

--- 

The details above will guide you through the process of preparing your PCR reactions efficiently, ensuring all components are accurately quantified and diluted for optimal results.
