1. W.U. Did O.J. do it? (Absent?? see below for the article link and q's)
Read about The blood and DNA Evidence in the O.J. Simpson Trial by visiting: http://www.bxscience.edu/publications/forensics/articles/dna/r-dna02.htm
After reading the article, answer the following questions.
1. What are 3 pieces of evidence from the article that incriminated O.J. Simpson?
2. What are the names of the 2 DNA analysis techniques used in the O.J. Simpson trial? (abbreviations and full names)
3. What are 2 reasons mentioned in the article for O.J.'s acquittal?
2.LAB RESULTS: The crooked cell- Using gel electrophoresis to determine the genotypes of Ava's family
H.W. DUE TOMORROW: Complete the following for your lab:
Analysis:
1. Make an ACCURATE (use a ruler!) drawing of your results. Be sure to label each sample (A-F, as well as the person’s name) as well as the positive and negative sides of the gel.
2. Complete the table on your answer sheet based on your results:
Conclusion: (Answer these questions in complete sentences on your answer sheet)
3. Explain why the carriers genetic profile appeared the way it did.
4. Using the lab results for Ava and Ava’s grandmother on her father’s side, determine Ava’s father’s genotype and phenotype for the sickle cell trait. Explain how you came to this conclusion.
5. Identify and describe two other applications of gel electrophoresis.

1. LAB: The crooked cell- Using gel electrophoresis to determine the genotypes of Ava's family
During the 20 minutes your DNA is "running": Finish the Hypothesis for the lab by creating a pedigree and predicting the genotypes of Ava and her tested family members. In addition, using the picture from page 2 of the background information (under "Step 3: DNA digestion"), draw a gel that predicts the banding patterns that you will observe during the lab.
H.W. Study your normal 15-20 minutes of Biology

1. W.U. DNA Profile
2. Notes: Gel Electrophoresis
2. Practice using micropipettes
H.W. Read this entire document and then using the Lab answer sheet passed out in class complete the "Objective," "Background Information" and "Procedure" section using the questions on the last page of the linked document. These 3 sections correspond with prelab questions #1-8.
