The allele \"D\" would be cleaved twice by EcoRI, resulting 3fragments: 839, 262, and 215 bp. The allele with the “d” would becleaved once by EcoRI, resulting in 2 fragments: 839 and 477bp.

a) If a plant has a genotype of DD. How many fragments do youhave? And How many bands do you see on the gel electrophoresis forthis sample?

b) If a plant has a genotype of Dd. How many fragments do youhave? And how many bands do you see on the gel electrophoresis forthis sample?
