Question

Hi I have a problem with number 5, it involves gel analysis results. There are 2 parts, a,b,c. For A Im sure you need to make a graph with distance in (cm) on the vertical axis and log10 bp on the horitzontal. I need help figuring out where to start and what to do. Please help!

The following question will provide practice in interpreting and analyzing gel results You obtained the DNA electrophoresis gel below. Three samples of lambda phage DNA were digested with 3 different restriction enzymes and the digested DNA was applied to the gel in lane 4 5. and the bands were visualized. The Hind III digest was used as a molecular weight standard marker and produced 6 DNA fragments of known size 23130 9410 6680 4360 2320 2030 base pairs Using graph paper, calculate/deduce the following The sizes of the DNA fragments produced by enzyme "A" a. b. which of the enzymes shown below was used in lane #2 of the gel (described as the unknown enzyme) Fragment sizes produced by Bam H1 Fragment sizes produced by EcoR1 Fragment sizes produced by Alw44 16841 7233 6770 6527 5626 5505 21226 7421 5804 5643 4878 3530 16179 13043 8286 5619 3375 2001 Unknown Enzyme MEASUREMENTS 7-2 4 9. 5.0 IN CM Hind III (BLUE) 0.1 3.4 4.0 8.9 nknown 1.5 2.3 2.44.0 Draw bands on the gel (in lane X) where you would expect the fragments generated by digesting the circular plasmid (to the right) with restriction enzyme X (the cut sites are shown in parentheses and the total length of the plasmid is 20,000 b.p. long) c.
