DNA profling made simple Flashcards
1
Q
electrophoresis and DNA profiling
A
- genonme consists of repetitive non-coding base sequences
- number of repititions vary, and loci
- analysed by electrophoresis to create a DNA profile
2
Q
forensics
A
- DNa isolated from samples
- PCR used to amplify the samples
- primers bind to either side of these repeat so whole repeat is amplified
- PCR products are run on an electrophoresis gle, compared to see match
- links person to a crime scnee
3
Q
medical diagnoss
A
- DNA profle can refer to a uniquei pattern of alleles
- analyse the risk of gneetic disorder
