| Description | In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA. Learners examine coffee filter strips, each dotted with mock "DNA" (food coloring dyes diluted with water), as they separate into components when placed in water. This process mirrors restriction mapping techniques used to analyze an animal's genetic makeup. This resource also includes two simple ways of demonstrating gene splicing. |
