Give an example of a GMO

Avery and Maya are conducting an experiment in their biology class. They are told they need to use gel electrophoresis to help determine what of the DNA they are using?

• To determine how many different DNA fragments are present and the size of one another

• It turns the DNA into energy that can be stored and used

• Measures how concentrated a DNA strand is

• Tells you how much DNA you will have in your body

Is DNA identical within every cell of the body

• No
• Yes
• In most cases

• Only in the brain

Do all living things have DNA?
