(b) The separation of DNA molecules in agarosegel electrophoresis depends on the size of DNA. (c) The DNA migrates from negatively-charged electrode to the positively-charged electrode (d) The DNA migrates from positively-charged electrode to the negatively-charged electrode. Choose the most ap
Options
- A(a) and (b) only
- B(a), (b) and (c) only
- C(a), (b) and (d) only
- D(b), (c) and (d) only
Correct answer
B. (a), (b) and (c) only
Step-by-step solution
Agarose gel electrophoresis is the process of separation of DNA fragments based on their size. As DNA is - vely charged, it moves from negative charged electrode to tve charged electrode inside the Gel Agarose gel shows sieving effect.
