To repeatedly copy a molecule such as DNA, usually until there are billions of copies present.

• Amplify

• Base Pairs

• Flanking Sequence

• DNA Fingerprint

Collection of DNA fragments that can be used to identify genetically unique individuals

• Amplify

• DNA Ladder

• DNA Fingerprint

• DNA Analysis

Lab technique used to amplify DNA sequences to produce billions of copies of a fragment of DNA.

• Short Tandem Repeats (STR)

• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

• DNA Fingerprint

• Flanking Sequence

Region of DNA on either side of a sequence of interest, such as an STR or gene.

• Short Tandem Repeats (STR)

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Allele

• Flanking Sequence

Variable segments of DNA, contain repeats of same sequence of nucleotides one after another

• Short Tandem Repeats (STR)

• Flanking Sequence

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Allele

Gel Electrophoresis separates molecules by

• Shape

• Color

• Size

• Atom

Having two identical alleles at a given locus.

• Heterozygous

• Homozygous

• Frequency

This laboratory procedure is known as

• CLONING

• gel electrophoresis

• chromatography

• use of a dichotomous key

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

• convert the DNA into gel

• cut the DNA into fragments

• change the color of the DNA

• produce longer sections of DNA

• Bear 1 and Bear 2
• Bear 1 and Bear 3
• Bear 2 and Bear 3
• There’s no way to tell
