DNA Fingerprinting Lab due Tuesday 5/10

Hard-copy of this:

1. Answer questions on back of hand-out
2. Beautiful complete data table!! With your distance measurement and estimated base pair amounts from your graph.
3. Make a HindIII ladder graph with labels, units, title, etc

Court Testimony: turned in through turnitin.com (see question on lab hand-out, p. 1)

4. Summarize the technique you followed as if speaking to an uninformed jury
5. Describe the evidence you have for who did it.  Be specific.
6. Discuss errors and uncertainty.
7. How certain are you of the results?

You will use these known lengths of the DNA fragments for the ladder graph made on semi-log paper to predict the lengths of the DNA fragments of the suspects and crime scene.
