Description
Grades 9–12
The DNA restriction analysis experiment demonstrates that DNA can be precisely manipulated and that it behaves as predicted by the Watson-Crick structure. In this lab, restriction enzymes—the scissors of molecular biology—are used to digest DNA from the bacteriophage lambda. Agarose gel electrophoresis will allow for visualization of the results.
This lab is required by the College Board as part of the Genetics and Information Transfer unit in AP Biology, and the technique is also introduced in the Biotechnology unit of the NYS Regents Living Environment course.
