Results: Unfortuntley the first time we did this lab it did not work as planned so we had to repour our dna into a new slide. The second time we did the lab it worked! The results said that i was homozygous negative which means both of my parents were that. I found this out because there was a strip of orange towards the bottom of my gel.
Overview: Over all I really liked this project. It really made me feel scientific using the micro pipets and gathering such precise pieces of liquid. There were a lot of steps that were hard to follow which might have been the reason our first side did not work the first time.
