“dna fingerprinting”

Abstract:
Quantified how?
A. A DNA marker (HindIII) was run alongside our suspects’ samples as well as the crime scene sample. The marker or
ladder contains fragments of known size so that the data can be graphed and the unknown fragment sizes can be
interpolated. (Mathematics insert (an intermediate value or term) into a series by estimating or calculating it from surrounding known
values.)
Data analysis (data tables, graph, math equations, etc):
A. The DNA fragments from each sample were run through an agarose gel by electrophoresis. The banding patterns
that resulted were compared to the crime scene sample and one suspect was identified as the criminal.
B.
