The restriction endonuclease HpaI cleaves the DNA of its recognition sequence GTTAAC to generate “blunt ends”.  Between which two bases of the recognition sequence would the DNA be cut to produce fragments with “blunt ends”? 

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique that can amplify the amount of DNA by a factor of more than 1,000,000. In PCR, each cycle of amplification involves each of the following steps except:
