Your research lab is interested in determining the phenotype of three of your patients (DNA 1, DNA 2, and DNA 3) for the gene TNF alpha, known to exist in two isoforms (wild-type TNF1 and mutant TNF2). Using gel electrophoresis to isolate the patients DNA, you obtain the results of the experiment as depicted in the left image below. Interested in your results, your boss asks you to perform the experiment again, to ensure your results are consistent. Upon performing the experiment again, you obtain the results as depicted in the right image below.. Assuming the left image is what you should have obtained, which of the following conclusions is correct and indicates potential errors that could have occurred in the right image. You accidentally added the TNF1 and TNF2 control DNA samples to the TNF1 lane, the TNF2 lane incorrectly added TNF2 control only, you forgot to add DNA 2 sample to the DNA 1 lane, you accidentally added DNA 1 sample to the DNA 2 lane, and you accidentally added DNA 2 sample to the DNA 3 lane. O You accidentally added the TNF1 and TNF2 control DNA samples to the TNF1 lane, the TNF2 lane correctly added TNF2 control only, you forgot to add DNA 1 sample to the DNA 1 lane, you accidentally added DNA 3 sample to the DNA 2 lane, and you accidentally added DNA 2 sample to the DNA 3 lane. You accidentally added the TNF1 and TNF2 control DNA samples to the TNF1 lane, the TNF2 lane correctly added TNF2 control only, you forgot to add DNA 3 sample to the DNA 1 lane, you accidentally added DNA 1 sample to the DNA 2 lane, and you accidentally added DNA 2 sample to the DNA 3 lane. You accidentally added the TNF1 and TNF2 control DNA samples to the TNF1 lane, the TNF2 lane correctly added TNF2 control only, you forgot to add DNA 2 sample to the DNA 1 lane, you accidentally added DNA 1 sample to the DNA 2 lane, and you accidentally added DNA 2 sample to the DNA 3 lane. 177 T
