A foam noodle model of restriction enzyme digestions
Stephen FlanaganPurvis High School Research based lesson1 class, 18 students10.27.2014
Objectives BIO1:
Examine the life processes to conclude the role enzymes play in regulating biochemical reactions. (DOK 2)
Examine inheritance patterns using current technology (e.g., pedigrees, karyotypes, gel electrophoresis). (DOK 2)
Genetics:Distinguish and explain the applications of various tools and techniques used in DNA manipulation (DOK 1)
Recently, I have been digestinggenes using restriction enzymes
I am looking at the speciation event between these 2 species, which requires a means to accurately differentiate species
The haplotypes I find in these 2 fish species
are only associated with only a single
species
Elaboratetoothpick the fragments back together and look for
more restriction sites
Alu1
then compare with everyone else in the class and see if this new cut pattern would be able to differentiate the
2 species
