Lab: DNA GeLElectronhoresis(Part 4 A B CDEF 900bp 800bp G H I J K L 450bp 50b 100b Instructions: The above image is of a completed DNA gel containing the fragmented DNA left at the scene of a brutal double homicide. Four suspects were eventually apprehended and their respective DNA samples occupy lanes/wells 1-4 of the gel. Please answer the following questions completely and to the best of your ability and attach with your respective lab report. 1. Identify the specific lane/well of the gel loaded with the DNA standard/ladder. 2. Lane 5 holds the DNA left at the scene of the crime. Lanes 1-4 are the DNA samples of the suspects. Identify the suspect or suspects that was/were present at the scene of the crime. Does this mean that the identified suspect(s) is guilty of said crime? Explain your rationale. 3.
