Draw a gel indicating the bands showing a homozygous person AND a heterozygous person for the ALU insert.
The presence of an ALU insert in an individual will increase the band size. Therefore, the individual without an ALU insert will have the lightest band, while the person homozygous for the ALU insert will only have the heavy band. The person heterozygous for the ALU insert will have one light and one heavy band each since one copy of the gene will have an ALU insert while the other will not have nay inserted sequence.
