a. This piece of DNA is cut by EcoRI, the resulting fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis, and the gel is stained with ethidium bromide. Draw a picture of the bands that will appear on the gel. b. If a mutation that alters EcoRI site 1 occurs in this piece of DNA, how will the banding pattern on the gel differ from the one that you drew in part a? c. If mutations that alter EcoRI sites 1 and 2 occur in this piece of DNA, how will the banding pattern on the gel differ from the one that you drew in part a? d. If 1000 bp of DNA were inserted between the two restriction sites, how would the banding pattern on the gel differ from the one that you drew in part a? e. If 500 bp of DNA between the two restriction sites were deleted, how would the banding pattern on the gel differ from the one that you drew in part a?
