DNA Fingerprinting Write-Up, Due Tuesday, May 23. Can be done in pairs.

This is what you need for the lab:

1.  A nicely titled and labeled graph of the ladder data (length of DNA fragment versus distance traveled) made on semi-log paper
2. A neat and nicely title and labeled data table that has the distance traveled for all of the bands of the ladder, crime scene, suspect 1, suspect 2, and suspect 3.  Then you need to use the graph to determine the lengths of DNA fragments for all of the bands of the suspects and crime scene.
3. Court testimony submitted to turnitin.com (one of you submits it, but include both of your names).  The court testimony should include an introductory detailed explanation of how DNA fingerprinting works, your data and who it incriminates, and a discussion of uncertainty.
