Genomic DNA was isolated from three individuals shown in the pedigree above. Primers were used to amplify DNA sequences at a particular locus using PCR and the DNA was resolved by gel electrophoresis. The result is presented in Figure I. What can we conclude from the gel patterns about which band corresponds to which allele (HINT: think dominant/recessive)? (3 sentences minimum)
