DNA Fingerprinting

During the DNA fingerprinting activity it taught you how and what fingerprints are used for. Which is mainly about identifying a person (its like a DNA stamp.) It also showed you how they use enzimes to separate theand then use gel electrophoresis, through which you can see the starnd of DNA.(we did this on our felild trip :) ) Using this process you can find out who commited a crime. 


In the secondlab they went more indeapther about Gel electrophoresis. IT dold you the same information basically but then it also whoed you how there are waves of DNA and theyn the acitvity shows you how they movfe (showed through an animation.) 


In the bar cokde activity the way yolu find the suspect is by comparing the lines to see which one is the same as the DNA extract one. By doing this i found that the 4th suspect was the guilty one.
