Answer:

Complementary primer- 3' TCCGGAGCTTAAGCATATCGAAAGTCTTT 5'

Explanation:

The synthesized primer will have base pair complementary to the given strand and also the leading and lagging ends will be opposite to the given strand.

As per the base pair rule for DNA

Guanine binds to cytosine & vice versa

Adenine always binds to thymine & vice versa

Given Sequence - 5' AGGCCTCGAATTCGTATAGCTTTCAGAAA 3'

Complementary primer- 3' TCCGGAGCTTAAGCATATCGAAAGTCTTT 5'
