DNA

3 Hydrogen bonds for complementary base pairing

G and C

Recognize specific sequences and cuts DNA at that sequence

The process that separates DNA by the size of the segments.

A and T

Analyzing bands on a gel to find matching DNA segments to determine paternity, identify a person, or to determine genotype.

T and C (contain 1 ring)

DNA segments after a restriction enzyme digest.

Genetic information

The negative phosphate group is attracted to the positive electrode.

A and G (contain 2 rings)

A process that makes millions of copies of DNA so that it can be analyzed.

A segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
