Pattern differences in DNA analysis

Question 5

What is the first part of Gel Electrophoresis?

Answer 5

1. Agarose gel form a gelatin-like material that filters DNA by its size.

Question 6

What is the second part of Gel Electrophoresis?

Answer 6

The gel is stained with a dye that binds to DNA and the DNA can be visualized.

Question 7

How do DNA fragments move in the gel?

Answer 7

Short = Fast
Long = Slow
They move through holes in the gel towards the positive charge.
