Summary Introduction
To determine: The cells that could have been used for the measurements.
Introduction: The length of a DNA molecule is often measured in "base pairs," or bp that is, the number of rungs in the ladder, and sometimes, this unit of measurement is shortened simply to "bases."

A blood stain from a crime scene and blood samples from four suspects were analyzed by PCR using fluorescent primers associated with three STR loci: D3S1358, vWA, and FGA. The resulting electrophoretograms are shown below. The numbers beneath each peak identify the allele (upper box) and the height of the peak in relative fluorescence units (lower box). Solve, (a) Since everyone has two copies of each chromosome and therefore, two alleles of each gene, what accounts for the appearance ofonly one allele at some loci? (b) Which suspect is a possible source of the blood? (c) Could the suspect be identifi ed using just one of the three STR loci? (d) What can you conclude about the amount of DNA obtained from Suspect 1 compared to Suspect 4?

A unique aquatic plant was discovered from a lagoon in El Nido,
Palawan. To determine the protein content of the plant, an
adequate amount of the plant extract was acquired, and Bradford
assay was performed. Determine the total protein concentration,
in µg/mL, of the acquired plant extract. A bovine serum albumin
(BSA) stock solution with a concentration of 250 µg/mL was used
and mixtures with the following compositions and absorbance
readings were prepared:

Looking at the results of this experiment, it is apparent that the three lines do not all show the same response to the virus.
