Question

Donna is Sophies's mother, but Sophie does not know who her father is. She collects DNA samples from herself, her mother Donna, and three potential candidates (Sam, Harry, and Bill) who could be his father. She extracts the DNA, amplifies the locus of interest using PCR, and runs a gel electrophoresis. The results are attached.

Harry's well only produced one bar, and we are certain that no part of any sample ran off the end of the gel. What word described the state of Harry's alleles at this locus?
The well is between 50bp and 100 bp

Answer 1

I believe that at the end of the movie, Sophie says that she doesn’t want to know which one is her “real” father because she ends up loving all 3 of them and having a special place in her life for them all. So, getting a test would probably make her feel more distant from the other 2 or create an awkward air between the dads. Even though it’s already kinda awkward.
