Comparison of Four-, Six-, And Eight-bp Cuts in Calf Thymus Dna
Young scholars investigate the use of restriction enzymes to recognize a four-, six-, and eight-nucleotide sequence. They utilize restrictive endonucleases to cut Thymus DNA and compare results by viewing the DNA fragments on Agarose Gel...
Curated OER
DNA Fingerprinting through a Chemistry Lens
Learners explore DNA and restriction enzymes using fragments of DNA separated by electrophoresis on an agarose gel. They analyze the results to see "whodunit".
