I have a Bio test on Monday and I've been stuck on the short answer problems like this one:
Sequence #1;
5'ATCGATGTGCTATACATGT TAACAC3'
3'TAGCTACACGATATGTACA CTTGTG5'
Sequence #2:
5'ATCGATGTGCTAAACATGT TAACAC3'
3'TAGCTACACGATATGTACA CTTGTG5'

Q1: Give the sequence and polarity of two DNA primers 6 nucleotides long that would allow you to amplify the entire fragment?
Q2: Assuming the bottom strand is the DNA template used for transcription, what is the amino acid sequence of the protein that is produced by Sequence #1.

I have no idea how to do those questions, I've tried finding similar problems in the textbook, but to no success. I appreciate any help I can get, thank you!

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
