Teacher essay summary

3 star(s)

Overall this is a very disjointed piece of work. It is repetitive in several places, and gives the overall impression that it may have been copied from a number of different sources.

The diagrams, where included, are not particularly well tailored. Custom diagrams would make this a lot easier to follow.

A number of misconceptions or sloppy explanations have crept in: (e.g. U=A rather than uracil pairs with adenine).

This is also frustrating to read because of the sporadic use of coloured highlighting, and the discrepancies in formatting.

At my (Russell group) university this might just scrape a 3/5.

Title: Electrophoresis

Aim:

The purpose of conducting this experiment is to understand the separation technique using agarose gel electrophoresis technique. Furthermore, the experiment also aims to observe the migration of nucleic acid in the gel electrophoresis and calculate the size of DNA fragments cut by HindIII. Lastly, from the separation technique, the different sizes of a macromolecule can also be determined with the help of a marker.

Result:

Table 1: Fragments of DNA marker and the distance migrated (cm).

Fragments size (kb)
