Supplemental File S6: Answer key for the example worksheets to assess achievement of learning
objectives 3, 4, and 6.
Instructions
1. Using the DNA template shown below, underline the template sequence where the two primers will annel.
Label the underlined sequence as “Primer 1” or “Primer 2”.
2. Using the DNA template and primers shown below, write the sequence of the resulting PCR product (after
30 cycles). Be sure to align your product with the sequence shown.
3. Draw a box around the site(s) on the PCR product that would be recognized and cleaved by EcoRI.
