- **Female Column**: Includes bands at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- **Infant Column**: Shares bands with both the Female and Male columns at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, but not 5.
- **Male 1 Column**: Contains bands that correspond more closely with the Infant column.
- **Male 2 Column**: Contains bands that do not match well with the Infant column.

**Question:**  
Who is the father - Male 1, Male 2, or inconclusive?

**Answer Box:**

**Question:**  
All of the DNA was cut up into fragments before loading into the gel. What was used to cut it?
