1] What is the composition of a DNA fragment? That is, what is a DNA fragment made of?
2] Using the lane numbers on the electrophoresis instrument, list the samples from smallest DNA fragment to largest DNA fragment. Label the largest and smallest.
[3] What accounts for the different final locations of the different size DNA fragments? That is, why do different sized DNA fragments end at different locations on the electrophoresis instrument?
[4] What is the significance of finding that DNA sequences are highly similar for two different species?
[5] Which known species has a genotype that is most similar to that of the unknown plant?
[6] A biologist at World University used Procedure IV to conduct an additional study and found the sequence following below. Using your knowledge of central dogma generate the amino acid sequence that results from this sequence.
Given DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA
[7] Explain why it is necessary to include only one chain-terminating/synthesis-terminating nucleotide in each well of the electrophoresis instrument.
[8] Discuss reasons that it might be useful to find out whether a newborn carries a specific gene or allele.
