Gel electrophoresis

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

The diagram represents the results of the procedure known as

• cloning

• chromatography

• gel electrophoresis

• protein sequencing

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

• larger, and move faster

• smaller, and move faster

• smaller, and move slower

Which chemicals are used to cut DNA into fragments for a gel electrophoresis procedure?

• enzymes

• molecular bases

• hormones

• ATP molecules

This technique used to analyze DNA involves the

• synthesis of new DNA strands from subunits

• separation of DNA fragments based on size

• production of genetically engineered DNA molecules

• removal of defective genes from DNA

Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments on the basis of which property?

• size

• color

• functions

• chromosomes

Based on these results whose blood was found in the blood stain at the crime scene?

• Bob
• Sue
• John
• Lisa

Which suspect is likely guilty?

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

DNA fingerprinting works because

• Most genes are dominant
• All organisms contain RNA
• The most important genes are different among most people
• No two people, except identical twins, have exactly the same DNA
