Whose DNA Was Left Behind?
NGSS-aligned with MS-LS3-A.
DNA obtained from a single hair left behind at a crime scene can be used to identify a criminal. In this experiment, your students will compare simulated crime scene DNA with that of two suspects.
• Learn about DNA fingerprinting while solving a crime!
• Introduce the biotechnologies of restriction enzyme digestion, PCR, and electrophoresis
• Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate different sized dye molecules
• Load, run, and analyze simulated crime scene and suspect samples
