- Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the presence of a monoclonal protein spike, often referred to as an M-spike, in the gamma region of the SPEP. - In the provided image, Panel A shows a sharp, tall peak (Peak 1) in the gamma region, which is indicative of Show more…

Using the sample gel electrophoresis results below, answering the following questions: a. What is gel electrophoresis? (1 pt) b. What are two different types of gels commonly utilized for scientific applications? (1 pt) c. In order for your gel to run correctly, what side of the gel should you load the types of samples specified below? (3 pts) DNA RNA Protein d. How do different sized DNA fragments move through a gel? (2 pts) e. Which sample (#1-4) contains the longest DNA fragments? How did you reach this conclusion? (1 pt) f. Which sample (#1-4) contains the shortest DNA fragments? How did you reach this conclusion? (1 pt) (1 pt for appropriate reference use)

1. What is the DNA size standard and what will it tell you? (This is for Lab DNA Profiling) 2. Why do you stain the gel? (This is for Lab DNA Profiling) 3. Write down the definitions for heterozygous and homozygous. 4. If only one band shows up on the gel is the individual (choose one: homozygous or heterozygous) for that particular STR locus? (This is for Lab DNA Profiling) 5. If it is not possible to have three bands for one STR region when looking at the DNA from one individual, then how many different STR regions were sampled in the gel electrophoresis simulation to end up with the three bands on the gel. Note: there are several possible correct answers to this question. (This is for Lab DNA Profiling)

3. (3 points total) You are using agarose gel electrophoresis to visualize DNA. Answer the following below. a. (1 point) What property of the gel is necessary for separating out DNA molecules by size? b. (2 points) You are studying two DNA samples one with 300 bp and 500 bp fragments (both are small) and another with 5000 and 10,000 bp fragments (both are large). What percentage agarose gel would you use for each sample? 4. (3 points total) You are studying a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient. The gene implicated in this disorder is the Dystrophin gene, which encodes dystrophin protein. Upon experimentation, you notice that this patient produces no dystrophin protein. Please answer the questions below: a. (1 point) What technique did you use to probe for dystrophin protein? b. (2 points) Specifically, how did you probe for the dystrophin protein?
