Electrophoresis (Quantitative Results):
A large graph called a standard curve, is at the end of the virtual simulation. A standard curve is a tool that allows forensic scientists to estimate the size of DNA fragments of unknown samples by comparing them to standards with known DNA fragment sizes. In the second chart of your worksheet, determine the base pair length for each DNA fragment using the distance it traveled in the gel. The distances are provided below.
Here's an example of using the standard curve on the graph to determine the base pair length of a fragment.

Now, using the distances provided and the standard curve in the simulation (or the one above), find the base-pair lengths of each fragment and place these values in the chart below. Sample 1 has been completed for you,
