From Restriction Maps to Cladograms

Biology aces analyze restriction maps to determine the relationships among different primate species and then complete a cladogram. Preface this lesson with an explanation of how restriction enzymes are used to create the DNA maps. Follow it up with electrophoresis in the laboratory. The cladogram and restriction maps in this resource are blurry, so if you can recreate them, it would make this lesson top-notch.
