You have a sequence of DNA with a site on which the restriction enzyme EcoRI will act. EcoRI recognizes the sequence below and cuts each strand at the locations indicated by the arrows. A section of normal DNA is shown here

The SNP shown below the normal allele is associated with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension). You amplify a cardiology patient's DNA and digest it with EcoRI (Question 15.3.2 shows where EcoRI acts). Which lane in the gel below represents a sample from an individual heterozygous for this SNP? Normal allele: 5' ATTCGCGGAATTCTGG 3' 3' TAAGCGCCTTAAGACC 5' Allele associated with hypertension: 5'ATTCGCGGGATTCTGG 3' 3'TAAGCGCCCTAAGACC 5' What will be an ideal response?
