Multiple Choice

. 

This laboratory procedure is known as

• chromatography

• gel electrophoresis

• use of a dichotomous key

Multiple Choice

. 

In preparation for an electrophoresis procedure, enzymes are added to DNA in order to

• change the color of the DNA

• cut the DNA into fragments

• convert the DNA into gel

• produce longer sections of DNA

Multiple Choice

A student performed a gel electrophoresis experiment. The results are represented in the diagram

below. Compared to the fragments at the top of the gel, the fragments at the lower end are

• larger, and move slower

• smaller, and move faster

• larger, and move faster

• smaller, and move slower

Multiple Choice

Why do the fragments of DNA in gel electrophoresis travel away from the negative electrode?

• DNA is negatively charged so attracted to the positive end of the unit

• DNA is positively charged to attracted to the negative end of the unit

• the agarose gel in negatively charged

• the agarose gel is positively charged

I am ready to move on to the LAB - Constructing my own transgenic organism using scientific investigation skills – How to create a transgenic organism (tomato growth hormone and Mice that glow)

• Absolutely

• No way

• I don't know so much?

• Yes, however please help me?
