You are developing primers for a wildlife forensic case and wantto identify both species and distinguish between individuals. a)For which type of analysis would you want to develop/use degenerateprimers? Why? b) If the primer you developed for speciesID is 14bp, the mitochondrial genome is 18500 bp, and the nucleargenome is 3.2x109 bp, how many times would you expect it to bind toeach of the respective genomes assuming the same primer could bindto both the mtDNA and nDNA genomes? (2marks) c) Comment on thespecificity of the primer if this primer was intended to amplifyonly a mtDNA region and not a nDNA region.
