1. BIO-RAD Lambda DNA Kit, and BIO-RAD Forensic DNA Fingerprinting Kit Section Concepts: DNA Scissors Activity, restriction enzymes, gel electrophoresis, standard curve

2. Background Information Restriction enzymes: found in bacteria and archaea, are enzymes that cuts DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences known as restriction sites. Gel Electrophoresis: a method used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate a mixed population of DNA and RNA fragments by length, to estimate the size of DNA and RNA fragments, or to separate proteins by charge. Nucleic acid molecules are separated by applying an electric field to move the negatively charged molecules through an agarose matrix.

8. DNA Fingerprinting Lab - Background Information DNA Fingerprinting: technique used by scientists to identify an individual based on their specific DNA profile Restriction Digestion of DNA: restriction enzymes recognize particular sequences in a segment of DNA and cuts the DNA molecule at that point Plasmids: circular, non- chromosomal pieces of DNA that can replicate in and are commonly found in bacteria
