Answer #1

Following are the reason for using high GC content primer-

GC rich sequence has strong binding with the complementary strand and are more stable. At the 3' end out of 5 at least 2 nucleotides should be G/C because they make stronger bond than A/C.

GC content increases the temperature for annealing. This prevents the formation of hairpin loop (only when melting temperature of hairpin loop is less than annealing temperature) within the primer. Formation of hairpin loop within the primer prevents replication of DNA.
