Which Suspect Committed the crime?

• Suspect #1
• Suspect #2
• Suspect #3
• Suspect #4

The small ring of DNA found in a bacterial cell used as a biological vector

• Helix
• Plasmid
• Clone
• Nucleotide

The purpose of selective breeding is to 

• Get bigger animals
• get smaller animals
• create animals with desirable traits
• create animals with bad traits

This laboratory procedure is known as

• CLONING

• gel electrophoresis

• chromatography

• use of a dichotomous key

The parents of a new baby believe they brought the wrong child home from the hospital. Gel electrophoresis was performed using DNA samples from the parents and the child. A section of the gel

electrophoresis results is shown below. Which conclusion is valid based on the gel electrophoresis results?

• They have the correct child, because her genetic information is identical to that of the father.

  
  

• They have the wrong child, because her genetic information does not match that of either parent.

• They have the correct child, because her genetic information came from both parents.

  
  

• They have the wrong child, because her genetic information matches only that of the mother.
