You must estimate the size of the unknown DNA fragment (fragment X) using the DNA standard. Use
the provided semi-log graph paper to plot the log of the molecular weight of each of the standard bands
(shown in Figure 11.4) vs. the distance travelled from the well based on measurements made from Figure
11.5 (do not calculate log of molecular weight, just plot molecular weight-the calculation is incorporated.
