2. DNA is Tightly Packaged into Chromosomes Which Reside in the Nucleus
3. Model of DNADNA is Comprised of Four Base Pairs
4. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
5. Genes are Composed of Exons and Introns
6. Introns are Spliced Out of RNA During Transcription
7. DNA Restriction Enzymes
8. Restriction Enzymes Nuclease that can cleave a DNA molecule at any site where a specific short sequence of nucleotides occurs. Different restriction nucleases cut at different sequences. Extensively used in recombinant DNA technology.

20. AgaroseElectrophoresisLoading • Electrical current carries negatively-charged DNA through gel towards positive (red) electrode
21. AgaroseElectrophoresisRunning • Agarose gel sieves DNA fragments according to size
– Small fragments move farther than large fragments
22. Analysis of Stained Gel Determine
restriction fragment
sizes
• Create standard curve using DNA marker
• Measure distance traveled by restriction fragments
• Determine size of DNA fragments
Identify the related
samples
