DNA Finger Printing: Gel Electrophoresis
Expectations: Complete this virtual lab and answer all the questions.
Learning Goal: I can use DNA fingerprinting to solve a crime.
1. Watch this video.
You may not listen to music after…Chemiere. Neilson, Jordan, Chemiere or any one else, you may not go to the bathroom so don't ask. NO YOU MAY NOT WORK OUTSIDE. Yes, Jeremiah its hard but we all know you can do it. Jordan stay in your seat and wipe that smile off your face. Brian this is your jam. You love biochem so stop goofing off.
