(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The primers frequently chosen that have high number of cytosines and guanines in their sequences; the reason has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Cytosine is a nucleotide found in DNA and RNA. It is a derivative of pyrimidine with heterocyclic aromatic ring. Guanine is the one of the four bases in DNA and RNA. It is dervative of purine. Guanine always pairs with cytosine. Guanine and Cytosine makes three hydrogen bonds.

Primers are short strand(18-20 base pairs) of DNA and RNA which helps in initition of DNA synthesis. The main role of primer is to allow polymerase to start because it cannot start by itself.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The primer sequence of CCCCCCCCCCGGGGGGGGGG not is a good choice; the reason has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Cytosine is a nucleotide found in DNA and RNA. It is a derivative of pyrimidine with heterocyclic aromatic ring. Guanine is the one of the four bases in DNA and RNA. It is dervative of purine. Guanine always pairs with cytosine. Guanine and Cytosine makes three hydrogen bonds.

Primers are short strand(18-20 base pairs) of DNA and RNA which helps in initition of DNA synthesis. The main role of primer is to allow polymerase to start because it cannot start by itself.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Vast excess of primer used for the amount of DNA has to be amplified.

Predict the organic products that form in the reaction below: H. H+ + OH H+ Y Note: You may assume you have an excess of either reactant if the reaction requires more than one of those molecules to form the products. In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic products X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching. Explanation Check Click and drag to start drawing a structure. G X C © 2025 McGraw Hill LLC.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. . If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T X O O лет-ле HO OH HO OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
