In Danielle Myers AP Biology class, juniors Allison Hopkins and Audrey Johnston place their gel electrophoresis trays onto a transilluminator to examine and photograph the stained gel of lambda DNA. The lab has allowed students to be able to look at DNA fragments and how these fragments cut themselves during gel electrophoresis to base-pair size. "I learned how to stain and rinse gels to look at lambda DNA and measure its migration distance for our Restriction Enzyme Lab," Hopkins said. "It was interesting to see the relationship between the molecular weight of DNA fragments and its mobility on the gels."
