Imagine that you are using random PCR primers to amplify fragments of DNA. Would you expect to get more amplification products if you set the PCR machine at a higher or lower annealing temperature and why?

Higher annealing temperatures increase "stringency," meaning the accuracy of base complementarity must be higher for successful annealing. Under such conditions, fewer successful amplifications are expected compared to conditions in which stringency has been lowered by using a lower annealing temperature.
